If Auditor & his brother are separated from many years i.e. their relation is ended. But people see them as real brothers. This is NOT independence in appearance.
Independence of mind means Auditor & other party do NOT relate in any manner whether by way of blood or professional relations(profit sharing).
Hence an Auditor should be & should appear to be Independent.
