H sir,
This may sound like a silly question. But I need to be sure.
In answers on threats It’s common to have 2 or 3 threats to one issue.
For example with personal relationships there may be familiarity, self-interest and intimidation threats.
Let’s say in the exam I mentioned only one of these threats (with its explanation), will i get the full marks or do I have to mention all three?
Thanks sir.
I think, if you have time, it is best to mention all three. Eg
The FD and audit partner are brothers and this can introduce familiarity, self-interest and intimidation threats.
Familiarity reduces professional scepticism; self-interest implies not upsetting family relations; intimidation because there might be a history of influence or bullying between tehebrothers.
Okay. So I should be on the lookout for further related threats then.
Thank you so much sir! 🙂
