right an opinion about whether you believe auditors should have a public responsibility to 'prevent' fraud

For the following link (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jwebb/2016/08/25/pwc-sued-for-missing-2-9-billion-scam-do-auditors-have-a-public-responsibility-to-prevent-fraud/3/#36aca6662941) ;

demonstrate an understanding of what auditors do (as consistent with what you learnedin classabout the auditor's role) and what they are required to under the standards you will receive more points than if you only state "No, because they are not required to or Yes, because it is the right thing to do" for example. NOTE: It is possible here to make a case that the answer is Yes/ No, but they can better detect fraud (and discuss how they can better detect fraud)/ or No, but they should be responsible to disclose fraud to the public (and discuss very carefully how the standards, the auditors and the audit client's should change to make that happen)
