This article discusses the case studies of audit failures – the real cases were those where the external audit was involved in falsifying financial statements. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the reasons for the low quality of audit, i.e. identifying the factors that significantly lower audit effectiveness. The analyzed cases, widely dis-cussed in the international mass media especially at the beginning of the present century – were selected from the economic practices of the United States. The study of the selected cases was conducted on the basis of the original documents (e.g. reports issued by relevant institutions, judicial decisions, statements of the relevant authorities), as well as secondary studies (e.g. scientific papers, press articles, books).

After the amendments have been introduced to the Act on NIK, NIK auditors, on the basis of Article 29, paragraph 1 (2i) of this act, have been given the right to process sensitive personal data found in documents, databases and other materials of the auditees. Some deputies are concerned with this additional right of NIK auditors, and therefore they have developed draft changes to the act in this area. If those changes are adopted, it will in fact mean a return to the previous legal status, namely the impossibility of appropriate verification of audit findings. According to the authors of the article, it is not necessary to introduce such changes since now there are sufficient measures to prevent potential abuse of the right to access to information. These are, among others, the provisions of regulation No 15/2012 by the President of the Supreme Audit Office of 14 May 2012 that make auditors’ access to sensitive data limited to the scope specified in the audit programme or subject.
