Independence is the cornerstone of the accounting profession. Without it, any opinion rendered cannot be relied upon by outside parties. An auditor must not only be independent in fact but also in appearance.

In previous years, it has been a common practice that auditing firms also provide tax and consulting ...

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.
