Abstract

In this second part of this article, I focus on the efficacy of the framework for mandatory financial disclosure and reporting. In particular, I investigate the governance of auditors within the corporate jurisprudence. Independence of auditors remains contentious in the light of the funding model of the regulator, functioning of audit committees and the connection between directors and companies.
