| Jan 2, 2011As a finance deptt manager do I have to legally enter into a non-disclosure agreement with external auditors every year before the audit work is started?

Company:
Typically client information confidentiality is covered in your engagement agreement with the audit firm, and thus there would be no need to do so separately each year. If they are a major firm I would be shocked if it were not be covered in your agreement. If it is a small firm, well, you might want to check the agreement to make sure it's handled.
