What if client refuses to give the new auditor permission to send letter? Do we decline audit work?
Also, if previous auditors response indicates questionable client integrity/overdue fees - do we decline the audit?
Thanks

2 - not "automatically" - the specifics of the circumstances would have to be evaluated. If the "questionable client integrity" means that the preconditions for an audit are not met (page 47) - it must be declined.
A proposed auditor is not expected to refuse to act merely on the grounds of unpaid fees owing to the existing auditor.
