Then at year end they turn their attention to auditing the companies accounts. I thought that the job of the auditors was to check that the accounts staff are doing their job properly, efficiently and with an extra safeguard to guard against false accounting and possible fraudulent activities within the company. Maybe someday someone can explain this apparent dilemma of conflict of interests.

Of course Thai independent auditors perform the above tasks with little chance of conflict of interest. My final question has to be who audits the auditors?
