A chief audit executive (CAE) conducts a quality assessment at the conclusion of an audit. Which of the following would mostly likely indicate to the CAE that the engagement team lacked some of the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to successfully perform the engagement?
If auditors provided only high-level recommendations, it suggests that they may not have had the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to delve deeply into the issues and provide more specific, actionable recommendations. High-level recommendations often indicate a lack of depth in understanding the underlying problems and the specifics of what needs to be addressed. This would be a clear sign to the chief audit executive that the engagement team was deficient in certain areas required to perform the engagement successfully.
Why not C?
