The objective of external auditing is to provide opinions on the reliability of the financial
statements and, as part of an integrated audit, provide opinions on internal control effectiveness.
The value of the external auditing profession is affirmed when the public has confidence in its
objectivity and the accuracy of its opinions. The capital markets depend on accurate, reliable,
and objective (neutral) data that portray the economic nature of an entity’s business and in turn
provide a base to judge current progress toward long-term objectives. If the market does not
receive reliable data, investors lose confidence in the system, make poor decisions, and may lose a great deal of money; ultimately, the system may fail. By providing an independent audit
opinion, the capital markets have assurance that the financial data that they are basing their
decisions on are accurate.
