Answers
D.

Have the new internal auditor assist with conducting the fieldwork, but ensure that her work is reviewed by the CAE.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

To maintain objectivity and independence, the new internal auditor, who was recently a senior supervisor in the accounts payable department, should not be assigned to an audit engagement in the same area. The IIA standards emphasize the need to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest, especially when auditors have recently transferred from or held responsibilities in the areas they audit.
