I think A is important. Higher fees mean more work, right?

Wait, E isn't really an audit issue, right?

I recall that material errors in financial statements, like in option D, are critical for the audit committee to review, but I’m confused about whether they would also deal with the Finance Director's retirement in option E.

I practiced a similar question where the audit committee had to deal with accounting policy issues, so I think option C is relevant too, but I’m not 100% certain.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option B about the internal audit concerns might also be something the audit committee should address, especially if it involves compliance failures.

I remember discussing the role of the audit committee in class, and I think they should definitely handle issues related to external auditors, like the fee increase in option A.
