Is Effective Reform Only Possible After Future Problems with High-Risk Companies?

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Large audit firms focus on more profitable business and improving the profitability of their audit services. Consequently, high-risk firms that have been withdrawn from large firms flow to small-and-medium-sized firms.
  • “Enhancement of governance, including third-party evaluation function” is crucial to ensure that the audit firm has system to oversee and objectively determine the appropriateness of audit process and audit opinion.
  • Smaller audit firms will comply with the guidelines just for show, but only when future problems with high-risk firms arise will effective reforms be made in accordance with the guidelines.
