    Hi Sir,

    When answering ethics questions,

    1- When the threat can’t be reduced to an acceptable level should we just decline ( eg; self review threat – listed entity non-audit services) and put no safeguards?

    2- If the threat is too high that cannot be reduced to an acceptable level should we just decline straight or put safeguards and decline?

    3- If there are safeguards does that mean we should not decline? Should we accept or consider when there are safeguards put in place?

    Thank You Sir

    ps; sorry for the tounge twister sir hope it clears for you

    See page 24 of the notes:

    Where such threats exist, the auditor must:
    ? Eliminate the circumstance that creates the threat(s); OR
    ? Apply safeguards, where available, to reduce the threats to an acceptable level (see s.4); OR
    ? Decline or end the specific professional activity.
