    Being an auditor does not exempt you from complying with laws. This is expressly recognised in audit confidentiality where there can be legal duties to disclose information.

    If there were a head-on conflict eg a law which said that any company owned by the president’s family had to be given a clean audit report then you could not also state that the audit had complied with ISAs etc.

    So this means that an auditor is not above law
