    Dear Ken,

    May I know why evidence generated by auditor is considered to be less reliable than evidence from third party?

    Thank you. 🙂

    Not necessarily.

    If the auditor inspects a non-current asset then that is very good evidence that it exists. If a third party writes a letter saying the asset is on hos premises that is not as good.

    However, a customer certifying a balance at year end might be better than the auditor using any other method to gain evidence about the debt’s existence.
