Independence—Assurance Engagements
[Hayes, Dassen, Schilder and Wallage, Principles of Auditing An Introduction to ISAs, edition 2.1] © Pearson Education Limited 2007
Slide 3.41
Independence
• Independence involves independence in
appearance and independence in mind.
• Independence in Appearance : The avoidance of
facts and circumstances that are so significant
that a reasonable and informed third party,
having knowledge of all relevant information,
including safeguards applied, would reasonably
conclude a firm’s, or a member of the assurance
team’s, integrity, objectivity or professional
skepticism had been compromised.
• Independence of Mind The state of mind that
permits the expression of a conclusion without
being affected by influences that compromise
professional judgment, allowing an individual to
act with integrity, and exercise objectivity and
professional skepticism.
