Horror Stories in Auditing 1



Horror Stories in Auditing



Over the years I have received from many known persons certain horror stories which I would like to share here.



1.   A small scale producer of agricultural irrigation purpose HDPE pipes. The final certification audit was going on. The auditor was from the leading body from industrial power house of Europe. He demanded a gold coin for his services. 


Apparently the leading certification body does not pay a decent salary to the auditor!!!!!!!


 The MD was familiar with this type of behavior by government body officials (license-permit Raj) and promptly agreed. 

He was quite confident that the company will get certified, but “just in case” anything happens he decided to oblige the auditor. 


He told, “this is part of the expenses I anticipated.



Whither ethics of auditing?
