However, the current market is not the case, because the existence of unfair competition, accounting firms often for fear of losing customers to the company management to compromise, resulting in Certified Public Accountant and customer relations has been distorted, CPA may not be complete or completely failed to comply with the independent auditing standards, which can not be found free of material misstatement or omission of material misstatement may also find that non-disclosure, even for selfish, and management of the collusion, issued a fraud audit reports.
