EY's Head of Regulatory and Public Policy, Christabel Cowling, on Demonstrable Independence

EY's Head of Regulatory and Public Policy, Christabel Cowling:
“One of the things that is really important within the audit space, and I’m going to call that a fact-checking space, is…demonstrable independence. …nothing makes people not trust what’s coming out than some view that that fact-checker is in that person’s pocket. It has to be perceived and it has to be real.”
