This is a real head-scratcher. I'm gonna have to phone a friend on this one. Or maybe just flip a coin. 50/50 chance of getting it right, right?

I'm gonna have to go with the option that involves the most work - D. Why make it easy on ourselves when we can just check all the boxes, right?

D all the way, baby! You can't be auditing your own work - that's like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. Where's the independence and objectivity in that?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I mean, what if the error was super minor and didn't really impact the overall results? Maybe that wouldn't be a big deal. But B and C definitely seem more clear-cut.

I'm gonna have to go with D on this one. All of those scenarios create the potential for self-review threats. Gotta be objective, you know?

But reporting on financial systems after being involved in their design can create self-review threats.

Option B seems like the obvious choice here. If you're involved in designing or implementing a system, how can you objectively assess its operation? Seems like a clear self-review threat to me.

I think option C could also create a self-review threat, having a member of the assurance team who is a director or officer of the client.
