Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 45LOQ
A difference of opinion concerning accounting and auditing matters relative to a particular phase of the audit arises between an assistant auditor and the auditor responsible for the engagement. After appropriate consultation, the assistant auditor asks to be disassociated from the resolution of the matter. The working papers would probably:
- (1) Remain silent on the matter since it is an internal matter of the auditing firm.
- (2) Note that the assistant auditor is completely dissociated from responsibility for the auditors’ opinion.
- (3) Document the additional work required because all disagreements of this type will require expanded substantive procedures.
- (4) Document the assistant auditor’s position and how the difference of opinion was resolved.

- Which of the following statements is false when a company’s internal audit department is asked to complete consulting work? In some instances, management or the audit committee may be somewhat averse to the concept that internal auditors should provide consulting services, primarily because they fear it would impair the internal auditors’ objectivity. the internal audit charter should include provisions for consulting engagements as the internal audit function would then have access to all areas of the organization when performing consulting engagements as it does when performing assurance engagements. Not including consulting services in the charter will never create confusion should the internal audit function decide to provide any form of advice, and will never increase the likelihood for disagreement regarding the internal audit function’s position on consulting services.arrow_forwardWhat are the auditor’s responsibilities to communicate information to the audit committee under PCAOB standards?
