Wait, there's an independent auditor in this question? I thought this was a reality TV show where the program office and the audit committee have a dramatic showdown to determine the fate of the financial statements. Surely that's more entertaining than a boring old audit, right?

Ooh, this is a tough one! I'm gonna have to go with the independent auditor on this one. Though I'm kinda hoping for a surprise twist where the audit committee shows up dressed as Batman and solves the whole thing.

Oof, this one's tricky. I mean, management would love to say they're the ones doing the evaluating, but we all know they can't really be trusted to police themselves. Gotta be the independent auditor, hands down.

But isn't it also the audit committee's responsibility to oversee the audit process?

Hmm, let me think about this... Nah, it can't be the program office, that's just silly. And the audit committee is more like the watchdog, not the one doing the actual evaluation. Yep, the independent auditor is the way to go here.

Well, this one's a no-brainer! The independent auditor is the one who evaluates internal controls to support their opinion on the financial statements. Gotta love a good ol' fashioned audit!
