Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'll start by ruling out the options that seem too absolute, like "all government auditors" or "legally prohibited." Then I'll focus on the nuances of the different jurisdictions and audit mandates.

I'm pretty confident that the requirements for government auditors are not the same as those for private sector auditors. There are likely some unique considerations for the public sector that I'll need to keep in mind.

Whoa, this is a tough situation. I can see both sides - I don't want to jeopardize my friend's chances, but I also don't want there to be any perception of impropriety. I guess I'll have to play it safe and postpone the dinner until after the contract is decided.
