PS : I agree that the case also belongs to advocacy threat.If it is a self-review threat then normally the accountancy firm has to check its own work in an audit. Here there does not seem to be the idea of preparation followed by review.

PS:I have trouble understanding your view of Here there does not seem to be the idea of preparation followed by review.
