request that the former engagement partner attends audit committee meetings of the client- this wouls be familiarity threat or self interest threat?

KimKimTutor20d ago#1

I suggest the clue is in the word "former": former partner → continuing relationship → familiarity also, potentially intimidation (by an audit committee member of audit team members)

If it were a current partner, more likely self-interest e.g. the audit committee makes recommendations to the board on external audit appointment/provision of non-audit services
