A New Perspective on Relationship between Corporate Governance and Auditing

Abstract

This paper clarifies a new perspective on relationship between corporate governance and independent auditing, and reexamines the contribution
of independent auditing to corporate governance through the discussion of
the relationship between corporations and society as recently brought up
concerning Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Because we nowadays
can no longer accept uncritically the conventional perspective on relationship between corporate governance and independent auditing under today‟s corporate governance. We need to reconsider the view of how how corporations and auditing should be toward rebuilding public trust, and to understand the importance of auditing in today‟s corporate governance.
