A “managing partner” generally means a partner of the FIRM who has responsibilities for day-to-day management of the FIRM – so they can’t be rotated off an audit that they haven’t been engaged on. If they were so engaged with a particular client they would also be engagement partner (or whatever is the role) in that particular engagement. What I’m saying is that although a managing partner might not have their “own” engagements (most likely in a larger firm/practice) the managing partner role might not be full-time in a smaller firm/practice – so the managing partner could also have audit clients.
