Why deal with stakeholders at all?

Why deal with stakeholders at all? As we saw earlier in the Chapter, the traditional view is that companies should be run for their owners, the shareholders, and that is all.
However, we also saw that an alternative argument is that it might be good for business ("expedient") to keep staff happy, customers and suppliers happy, the local community happy etc.
Instrumental Many believe that companies should demonstrate some CSR purely for profit reasons – that CSR looks good to the outside World and leads to higher sales.
There is no moral element to this decision – the decision is taken purely for profit.
Studies have shown that most consumers in the UK believe that companies are only fighting pollution, being nice to suppliers, and looking after employees because they think it makes them look like good companies and attract customers and profits.

AUDITING STANDARDS AND QUALITY CONTROL

soft skills Just as there are accounting standards, there are also audit standards to give auditors guidance (and in some cases rules) as to how they should perform their audit work. Many countries have their own national audit standards – e.g. In the UK, the Auditing Practices Board set them. There are also International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), which are set by the International Audit & Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), part of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). For countries without their own audit standards, the ISAs provide a set of standards that can be adopted, or altered based on national requirements. Quality control is partly achieved by having audit standards to follow ... however it is also achieved by the RSBs (e.g. ACCA) checking the audit work of their members, and handling complaints. The RSBs also have rules to ensure their members are keeping up to date with technical changes. AUDITING STANDARDS AND QUALITY CONTROL
