We would like to encourage you to read a new statement by the SEC on professional skepticism and audit quality by Paul Munter, Chief Accountant. Click Here.

What exactly is professional skepticism you may ask? Professional skepticism is a fundamental concept in auditing. It involves maintaining a questioning mindset, critically analyzing audit evidence, and being alert to any signs of misstatement—whether due to fraud or error.

You may now be asking so why is understanding an auditor’s viewpoint important? The SEC has stated and published their stance: “A well-designed and resilient compliance program and compliance staff should be able to adjust, pivot, and address a range of conditions and scenarios.”  Do you consider and discuss with your senior leadership how your processes could be viewed by clients, auditors, and industry peers?
