The accountable party in an assurance engagement is the management of the company being audited. This means that Thermos Inc. and its management are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the financial statements. The PA firm and the auditor in charge are responsible for conducting the audit in accordance with professional standards, but the final responsibility for the financial statements lies with Thermos Inc.'s management.
