This concise volume evaluates the cause and significance of recent
corporate failures and financial scandals, and how they reflect on
the fitness for purpose of the external auditors, financial
reports, financial watchdogs, boards, directors and senior
management. Failures like the disastrous collapse of Carillion,
examined at length, have ultimately led to a crisis of confidence
not only in the audit process but in the entire process of
financial reporting. Revealing the shortcomings in audit quality,
independence, choice and the growing expectation gap, Financial
Failures and Scandals questions if the profession, its regulators
or government watchdogs, are adequately prepared for the challenges
of increasing regulation, public outcry and political scrutiny in
the face of inevitable future financial failures. The fundamental
structures of financial reporting, annual reports, boards of
directors and senior management are often found to have failed.
Tighter regulation and new requirements for reporting will
inevitably result. Drawing on extensive research and interviews
with insiders, users and experts, this unique book provides a
compelling account of the profoundly disruptive impact of financial
failures on corporate and financial accountability. Topical and
readable, this book will be of great interest to students,
researchers and professionals in accounting and auditing, as well
as to policy makers and regulators.
