dear tutor,
what are these should be classified to? self-interest or familiarity threads? because i’ve both classification in different books. in the exam which should i classify them?
hospitality and gifts
long time association and relationship between auditor and clients
and what about this? familiarity or self-review?
Being the former employee in the client’s co., which can have impact on the audit.
Thanks in advance!!
I don’t think the classification is vital. What is important is that a threat is recognised.
So, gifts are self interest, bur perhaps arising from familiarity
I think being a former employee is a bit more clear cut. Unless the ‘new’ auditor was recently an employee and was auditing his/her own work, self-review isn’t really an issue. However, familiarity could be a longer lasting problem as friendships can endure.
