Auditors are required under PCAOB standards to evaluate internal controls surrounding financial reporting. In the wake of the banking failure, many commentators asked, “Where were the auditors?” and questioned why the auditors did not also evaluate risk management controls. Do you believe auditors should have responsibility for evaluating a client’s internal controls in areas not directly related to financial reporting?

Wirecard’s auditors are being faced with legal action after the collapse of the scandal-hit German payments firm. The German shareholders’ association SdK said Friday that it had filed a criminal complaint against auditors at Ernst & Young (EY).
