Independent Auditor
An independent auditor is a professional who examines a company's financial statements and records to ensure they are accurate and comply with accounting standards and regulations. Unlike internal auditors, who are part of the organization, independent auditors are external to the company, providing an unbiased assessment of its financial health. Their primary role is to enhance transparency and build trust among investors, stakeholders, and the public by verifying that the financial information presented is reliable and free from errors or fraud. This process helps ensure accountability in financial reporting.
