    Developments in auditing have always been driven by corporate scandals. Until the mid-19th century investors used to look over the books themselves, checking that directors were not ____1____ away their capital.

That led to more regulation intended to protect auditors’ objectivity, which comes under pressure because of limited competition and because they are paid by the firms they ____3____, rather than the investors they serve.

One Thought to “English Test for SBI PO 2018 Prelim Exam – Set 37”

  1. Throughout the great design of things you actually receive an A+ with regard to effort and hard work. Exactly where you misplaced us ended up being on the details. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more correct right here. Having said that, let me tell you what did give good results. Your text is certainly incredibly powerful and this is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can easily see the jumps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not certain of just how you appear to unite your ideas which in turn make the actual conclusion. For right now I shall yield to your issue but wish in the near future you actually connect your dots better.
