I interviewed two professional individuals in the Directorate of Financial Supervision Office who are auditing both governmental organizations and private sectors in Kurdistan region. I asked them whether they have an efficient audit procedure in order to collect sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in order to prevent any running from taxes by the companies. The purpose of this research is to persuade the companies and external auditors that the external auditor can play a significant role in recommending and preventing the companies to not run from tax. date: 2017-10 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Social Sciences and Educational Studies volume: 4 number: 2 publisher: Ishik University pagerange: 15-22 id_number: doi:10.23918/ijsses.v4i2sip15 refereed: TRUE issn: 24091294 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.23918/ijsses.v4i2sip15 related_url_url: http://www.ishik.edu.iq/ referencetext: Alexander, D., & Eberhartinger, E.
