  • Who Watches the Watchers?* Joint Statement On Auditor Independence Amendments, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Oct. 16, 2020

    Date 16/10/2020

    Auditors play a crucial role in promoting public trust in our markets by providing assurances about the reliability of financial disclosures. This role has been described as a “public watchdog” function that “demands that the accountant maintain total independence from the client at all times and requires complete fidelity to the public trust.” Those clients, however, hire and pay their own watchdogs, prompting the late, distinguished securities law professor Lynn Stout to observe “[w]hen the people being watched get to choose their watchdog, they’re not going to choose the toughest animal around.” The import of this observation is not to impugn motives, but to point out that there is an obvious and inherent conflict of interest in the so-called “issuer pays” model used in public auditing. This conflict would be significant even if auditing fees were its only source. But in recent years, audit fees at the Big Four accounting firms have been dwarfed by even more lucrative consulting, tax, and other non-audit services offered by large accounting firms, which now account for close to two-thirds of overall revenues.
