The dramatic collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX comes just 
a few months after auditors from the Trump Organization resigned 
asking us to stop placing reliance on 10 years of previously audited 
accounts. 
In the bankruptcy filings for FTX the new CEO suggests FTX is full 
of "inexperienced" executives and demonstrates a "complete failure of 
corporate controls," including allegations of financial impropriety. 
The Year 2022 has indeed been characterized by significant audit 
failures and auditors have been blamed for such spectacular collapse 
of corporate governance. Some critics suggest that audit practices are 
inherently rigid, and the methods too obscure to have mitigated these 
failures. Others argue that auditors are unfairly criticised. Where do 
you stand? Justify your answer with sound reasoning.
