    External audits promise 'reasonable assurance' but rely on limited sampling, creating systematic blind spots that allow fraud to flourish undetected in the 90% of transactions never examined.

    Why Auditors Miss Most Corporate Fraud

    Why Auditors Miss Most Corporate Fraudのベスト引用

    “

    The public hears 'audited financial statements' and thinks it means 'fraud-free guarantee,' but auditors are thinking 'we followed our procedures and didn't find material misstatements in our limited sample.'

    External audit gives reasonable assurance which is a flawed concept and their testing is on sample basis that's why companies still have fraud which auditors cannot identify
