Document background
The Non-Disclosure Agreement For Auditors is essential when engaging external auditors to perform statutory or voluntary audits of an organization in Austria. This document balances the need to protect confidential business information with auditors' professional obligations under Austrian law and international auditing standards. It is typically used before granting auditors access to sensitive financial records, internal controls documentation, and business operations data. The agreement ensures compliance with Austrian data protection laws, including GDPR implementation, while recognizing the unique position of auditors as regulated professionals with statutory duties. This document is particularly important given the sensitive nature of audit work and the broad access auditors require to company information.
