Abstract: This study aimed to examine what financial managers think about auditors implementation in relation with corporate governance mechanisms and credibility gap by using an inferential descriptive statistical analysis. Corporate governance has shown flaws where part of it was done to the weakness of financial managers activism and since auditing is a very important avenue of faithful representation (credibility gap) of financial statements and since shareholders depend on auditors’ reports, this study utilized primary data by distributing a questionnaire to the financial managers in Jordanian industrial companies regestered in Amman Stock Exchange to study the effect of implementation. The study focused on the affect and relationship of the auditors’ implementation of International Audit Standards and International Standards on Quality Control on the credibility gap by using regression analysis and the demographic factors by using one way ANOVA. Results showed a positive relationship between auditors’ implementation of International Audit Standards on the credibility gap as well as to the International Standards on Quality Control and results also showed that respondants elder than 45 years were more realizable of the credibility gap than the younger ones as well as to the PhD degree holders and those above 15 years of experience.
