Auditor independence has traditionally been conceived of as a moral issue (Preston et al., 1995). It occupies a prominent position in accountancy’s contemporary ethical discourses, including formal codes of ethics and tales of highly disinterested accountants (Everett et al., 2005). For example, recent books on the firm Arthur Andersen published subsequently to its collapse emphasize how the founder of the firm (Mr. Arthur E.
Andersen) gained a reputation of trustworthiness by refusing to endorse some companies’ distorted financial statements (e.g. Squires et al., 2003; Toffler, 2003)
