Liability to third parties
-Not all suits brought to an auditor are from a direct client
-Third parties can also sue an auditor for fraud, in which case a contract is
necessary.
- In order for third party to prevail in a case, there are a number of things they
must prove:
1. the third party must prove that the auditor had a duty to exercise due care.
2. the third party must prove that the auditor breached that duty knowingly,
3. the third party must prove that the auditor's breach was the direct reason for
the loss.
4. the third party must prove that they suffered an actual loss
Fraud is defined as the intentional false representation or concealment of a material fact for the purpose of inducing another to act upon it to his or her injury.

Obligations under law arising from civil actions (torts) or under contract. Legal liability can only be decided by courts even if the settlement is made out of the court by mutual agreement. Liability insurance normally covers only the liability arising from torts and not from the contractual obligations
