This paper further enriches the growing literature on CA by offering new insights into different contexts by trying to examine auditors’ perception on the necessity of CA in the different economic and cultural setting of Egypt. The current level of technological expertise and development in Egypt is more than adequate for the creation, operation and maintenance of corporate Web sites for IFR purposes. If that is the case, Egypt is likely to witness an upsurge in IFR over the next few years and regulators and other governmental agencies, as well as other stakeholder groups will need to be prepared for this imminent development. The paper provides evidence that may support initiatives to issue guidelines that cover CA and the work needed in the audit of IFRI to improve the quality and integrity of financial reporting. Therefore, for the potential of CA to be recognized and fulfilled, accounting and auditing regulatory bodies need to provide guidelines that help resolve issues related to auditors independence and materiality.
