"The Audit Expectations Gap" is not static (dynamic). The most important recommendation was the necessity to activate the role of professional organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to develop and improve the performance efficiency and responsibilities of the auditors to meet the users' expectations of financial statements and to support their confidence in the audit profession to limit this.
