Abstract
Abstract The study examines how *auditor independence* impacts *true and fair view financial reporting*. It highlights that independence boosts financial statement credibility and reduces manipulation risks. Using questionnaires, the research found *management involvement* weakens independence. Key influencers include *professional skepticism, ethics, governance*, while threats like *financial ties and familiarity* undermine it. The study recommends strengthening independence, strict adherence to audit processes, and eliminating undue influence to ensure transparency, accountability, and accurate financial reporting.
