...in crime sparked a deep yearning to investigate the uncharted criminal mind. As media has expanded from radio to television and the Internet, crime has exploded all over the world and the need to control this wild horse has sparked worldwide interest in reality based television shows that depict the inner workings of a convicts mind and how the hero police officers, detectives, crime scene investigators and judges outwit, catch and then prosecute these lawbreakers. This exciting new fad has people watching these half hour shows and believing that they are entirely accurate. There are some television shows that use a great deal of fact in the creation of the show while other shows do not even come close. Since people have become enamored with courtroom based movies and television shows this has created a false sense of knowledge among common viewers that almost an entire nation believing that courtrooms consist of a defendant and a plaintiff (or a prosecuting attorney and a defense attorney) yelling back and forth at each other while a judge feverishly pounds his gavel on his podium in attempt to gain order in their courtroom. This is far from the way that an actual courtroom operates. Television shows will spark heated debate in a courtroom and solve each case in thirty minutes in order to collect ratings.

...Literature Review Original Ideals and Postulates The key principle of audit is that it should be a professional and objective process. An approach that has been assumed by Flint, (1971), and a theme that is strongly supported by the majority of the literature written on this subject. This idea is supported by Mautz and Sharaf (1961), who created an outline of standards that auditors should work, to in order to achieve the highest level of professionalism. To be able to achieve this level of professionalism it can be seen that a conceptual framework must be in place, it was for this reason Mautz and Sharaf created eight postulates as a foundation for a framework. They created their postulates based on a ‘...careful study of the nature and activities of auditing...’,(Mautz and Sharaf, 1961, pg 41, ).It was this study which allowed them to create the postulates that are the underlying assumptions of modern audit theory and practice. Flint in 1988 developed this idea but rather than eight postulates he suggests seven very different basic postulates. The postulates Flint created are based upon the idea that audit has a much broader effect on society, this basis can be seen within the postulates. When we look at the first postulate Flint states, ‘... Auditing can be said to act as an element of social control within the process of corporate or public accountability...’ (Flint, 1971) This suggests that Flint felt that audit was not only affected by society but also that audit is actually...
