And consequently, to increase the quality of the financial reports, transparency and the integrity, because these latter is considered to be the backbone of confidence in both the financial and nonfinancial communities. Transparent and efficient financial reports, especially, of those listed on the Algerian stock market would achieve the centralization and the efficiency of investment and keep in touch with successful global markets.
