Can auditors draft (i.e. prepare) the financial statements for clients ?
The answer is No.
As mentioned in post #10, the nature & the responsibility of an auditor is to check, to scrutinize the financial statement prepared by the clients is not materially misstated. Auditors are the investigators.
Self-review threat to auditors' independency would be created if auditors are checking on what the auditors themselves are preparing. Auditors are supposingly to exercise its professional due care ( in ensuring integrity) & competence to ensure the accuracy of the Financial Statements.
