Article Abstract:

Corporate affairs are becoming increasingly complex in coping with global markets and regulatory structures, and hence the responsibility of those at the highest levels of decision-making is altered by subordination to the process itself. The forthcoming European Union's requirement for the audit engagement partner to sign in his/her individual name, and not on the firm's name, entails the person to make rigorously independent assessment of every potentially compromising entry and that is the personal responsibility and real auditing.
