Since managers of the subunits need to be greater than the cost, they might manipulate
the data to show in their financial statements that they generate higher profit than they incurred
costs. With this, auditing financial statements is needed in order to make sure that managers are
transparent in making the financial statement of the company. Profit centers make managers
more concerned with finding ways to increase the center’s revenue by increasing production or
improving distribution methods. Thus, the auditor needs to evaluate properly the data and
determine whether the information in the financial statements is presented in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles.
