NO!!!audit firms are partnership
which means they are the boss of the firm
on the other hand the auditors who sign off the audit report
and take up the audit engagement
as long as they are auditors ,
and have knowledage on the audit reports or any client details ,
they have to comply with the guidelines on professional ethics
Partners as they are part of the firm ( so they have knowledage of all audit reports)
they CANNOT invest on shares of audit clients
since they might have knowledage through the report
of the clients' financial conditions
( eg. if they know this client is going to be bankrupt soon so they may be able to sell off the shares asap to advoid loss )
so there will probably be biased towards the report since at the end
partners are the bosses as well as the auditors
they can do anything if they want~
thus according to the ethics guidelines they CANNOT do ANYTHING with relation
to the clients' firm
