Types of independence

Real independence and perceived independenceThere are two important aspects to independence which must be distinguished from each other: independence in fact (real independence) and independence in appearance (perceived independence).

Independence of the internal auditor means independence from parties whose interests might be harmed by the results of an audit.

Independence of the external auditor means independence from parties that have an interest in the results published in financial statements of an entity.

The structure of the accountancy professionPrice competition is a major factor in auditor independence.
