The credibility of the independent audit depends on the making of quality work observing the norms of auditing and the professional ethic, being that, in several cases shown it was observed the lack of the independent auditor s credibility in Brazil and abroad. In Brazil, the independent auditors, in the real state market ambiance, are registered and observed by the Securities Commission (CVM) that, fulfilling its function, holding inquests into verifying irregularities in the execution of the jobs and issue of the opinion. These inquests, obtained in the site of the CVM, served as source of research to verify the reasons for the lack of quality in the auditing work made in Brazil.
