Abstract (English):
Th e article presents the hierarchical level structure of the theory of audit and examines in detail the fi rst worldview level of audit theory, which is an audit philosophy based on trust. In conditions of uncertainty and increased risks, the category of «trust» takes on a new very important meaning. In audit activities, the relationship between the auditor and the audited entity is built on trust, which subsequently transforms into confi dence and forms an opinion regarding the reliability of the accounting (fi nancial) statements.
