| dc.description.popularabstract | One of the most important tasks of the audit profession is to act in the public interest. For that reason, the public should be able to be confident that professional bodies always have the public interest in mind when exercising judgements. Supervisory bodies, such as the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and The Public Company Oversight Board in the US, collaborate of this task. The creation of new oversight system and international collaboration is to restore public trust in audited financial statements after many financial scandals in the beginning of this century. The auditor is required to plan the audit so material misstatements due to error or fraud are detected. One possible solution is to incorporate forensic specialist in the audit process to do this. | en_US |
