BRIEFS: Fraud fear
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Auditing Practices Board is calling for a public debate on the issue of directors and auditors making written comments on the effectiveness of a company's internal financial controls. The call comes as the board - in a move unrelated to the Barings collapse - publishes guidance to auditors on how they report directors' disclosures in annual reports under the requirements of the Cadbury code of best practice in corporate governance. It reflects growing concern about the effectiveness of fraud controls within companies.
