Abstract:
The article assesses whether the gap in expectations provoked a shift towards strengthening the protection of the auditors independence. The Directive provides a new framework for harmonizing and protecting the independence of auditors in the EU. The results indicate a relationship between the gap in audit expectations and auditor independence.
