The traditional view is that auditors must be outsiders. But that might not be always wholly true here. So, what other [[user role]]s must support auditors? How can we avoid becoming [[Enron]], which also had '''trusted auditor'''s looking to ensure the shareholders had a realistic view into the financial situation (not!), that were not unfortunately "outside" enough. | The traditional view is that auditors must be outsiders.

This function is so important, [[betting]] against the auditor finding problems might have to be supported directly, so there is maximum incentive for auditors to find all problems, and for [[troll]]s to keep maximum eye on the auditors. The bureaucratic view is that process works perfectly and never needs outside auditors. This was the view at [[Enron]] too. | This function is so important, [[betting]] against the auditor finding problems might have to be supported directly, so there is maximum incentive for auditors to find all problems, and for [[troll]]s to keep maximum eye on the auditors.
