That's a good point, Lavera. The qualifications of the new auditor and their relevant business knowledge should definitely be considered as well.

But what about the qualifications of the new auditor? Shouldn't that also be a concern for the chief audit executive?

You know, with great power comes great responsibility. The chief audit executive better keep a close eye on that new auditor, or they might end up with a 'finance department scandal' on their hands!
