Exbrayat, Nelly ; Madiès, Thierry ; Riou, Stéphane

Auditors and Corporate Governance : Evidence from the Public Sector

Schelker, Mark

In: KYKLOS, 2013, vol. 66, no. 2, p. 275-300

Corporate auditors review and evaluate financial statements. To enhance independence the selection process and mandatory auditor rotation requirements have been debated intensively.
