Já há evidências iniciais de que o modelo de auditoria impacta os processos destas organizações e, consequentemente, seus resultadospor exemplo, o modelo napoleônico de auditoria produziria menor impacto no combate à corrupção e estaria mais sujeito à riscos relacionados à independência (Blume & Voigt, 2011;Morin, 2010;Santiso, 2007).…”
