    See here – the engagement partner and EQC reviewer are key audit partners:

    https://opentuition.com/topic/key-audit-partner-audit-engagement-partner

    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.

    There’s an article here https://www.accaglobal.com/us/en/member/member/accounting-business/2018/02/practice/managing-partner.html
