CHAPTER ONE

1.1 BACK GROUND OF THE STUDY

Information is essential to the very existence of the society. The investor making decision to buy or sell securities the Banker decide whether to approve a loan the Government in obtaining revenue based on income tax rapture, are relying on information produced by others. In many of this situation above the goal of the provider of information run directly counter to those of the user. Implicit in this line of reasoning is recognition of the social need for an independent auditor. Individual of professional, competence and integrity who can see the plank to tell us whether the information which we want to rely on constitute a fair picture of what is really going on in an organization.

The passing of the companies act in Britain, introduce by Glad store in 1844 set the scene. It required the registered company’s solvency to creditors similarly the company and allied matter act of 1990 (CAMA) in Nigeria also stated in section 395 (1) that the auditor of a company shall make a report to its member on the accounts examined by them and on all group financial statement copies of which are to be laid before the company in a general meeting during the auditor tenure of office the basic reason for appointing an auditor is just to express an opinion on the financial which he has examined whether it show true and fair situation the growth of auditing recent past has been such phenomenal that management of business assist in the efficient running of the business enterprise.

When people are aware that one time or one day within the accounting year or of all time they may be called upon to explain any ambiguity in the process of records, receipt any fortification or will be discipline, careful and used all their skill in serving the enterprises and make it to utilized the limited available resources. For the owner of wealth to be satisfied the limited available resources for the owners of wealth to be satisfied the limited available resources for the owners of wealth to be satisfied and manager to be justified in establishing and maintaining the integrity potential share holder prospective investor and Government agencies it became necessary to invite an independent person or body who is not involve with either of the parties (management and owners) to examine the steward report. The independent party’s duty is not just more examination of the account from which the financial statement were prepared rather it includes collection all relevant information thought necessary to satisfy him in information of opinion.
