I'm going with option B. Keeping up with the standards and techniques is like the bread and butter of an auditor's job. The other stuff is more like the garnish.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Networking with other auditors could be really valuable for sharing best practices and insights. But I guess the technical stuff takes priority. *shrugs*

Understanding current standards and learning about changes to auditing techniques are definitely more important. Attending audit closing meetings and networking are good, but the technical competency is key.
