Where the whole world is driven by data and facts and no informed government can perform well until the governance institutions are executing responsibilities based on the factual information; the very authenticity of data and information is under question these days around the world.

In an environment of turbulence, where political establishments and people in power affect business houses and commerce with equally impact on financial institutions and corporate houses; role of independent auditor and vigilance bodies becomes much tougher than earlier.

Government regulations and corporate laws are there with strict provisions to control and compliance. There are various guidelines and effective measures to enforce adherence of laws and a reporting culture across the system for proper overview of existing mechanism and progress.

Despite all this mechanism of control and stringent network of information technology tools and techniques, globally we are facing regular breach of compliance, fraud, unfair trade practices, data manipulation and false certification.

For a perfect economy to exist and function, role of vigilance bodies and auditors must be effective .Auditors around the world play crucial role in good governance through fact certification, data authentication and analytical reporting. They are not simply the compliance monitor but key instrumental in the enforcement of law .Their professionalism is the trust of a country and partner of enforcement authorities for transparency and development.
