For the scenario below,
The audit partner and the finance director of the client company, have known each other socially for many years and in fact went on holiday together last summer, with their families.
As a result of this friendship, the partner has not spoken to the client about the fee for last year’s audit, 20% of which is still outstanding.The answer key stated that the threats to objectivity is :
Self-interest threat, Intimidation threat, Familiarity threatI don’t understand how an intimidation threat may arise. Could you explain sir ?

Intimidation is not strong. Could arise if the FD threatened to inform the authorities about the familiarity and self-interest breaches.
