Abstract: Auditing is generally understood as the professional review of information in order to express a responsible and independent opinion on the financial statements in accordance with audit standards that are harmonized with international auditing standards by reference to a (standard, norm) criterion quality. The importance of the financial audit is to verify the credibility of the information in the financial statements, their true and fair view throughout the financial year. The review of the balance sheet at the end of the financial year is carried out by an independent auditor, a professional with a vast experience who participates in the achievement of one of the main qualities of the accounting information, namely its credibility. The faithful image responds to two imperatives: regularity and sincerity of financial statements. The financial auditor is required to express an independent opinion on annual information and statements in order to give equal consideration to the users of accounting information and the participants in economic and social life. According to the ISA 300 audit standard, the auditor should consider planning an audit activity so that the audit is conducted in an efficient manner.
