I'm just wondering, did the IAA also do the hokey-pokey while they were at it? Talk about a lack of independence!

I'm going with D) Independence. It's like the old saying, 'can't bite the hand that feeds you.' If the IAA was responsible for the activity, there's no way they could remain independent in their evaluation. Classic case of a self-review threat.

It's definitely a self-review threat when the IAA is responsible for the activity they are auditing.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The key here is that the IAA was responsible for the activity it was assessing. That has to be a breach of C) Objectivity, right? No way you can be impartial in that situation.

The IAA should have maintained independence to ensure unbiased assurance services. Objectivity is definitely impaired in this scenario.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards D) Independence, since the internal audit activity was responsible for the activity it provided assurance services for. That seems like a clear conflict of interest.

This question is testing our understanding of the IIA Code of Ethics. I think the answer is C) Objectivity, since providing assurance services for an activity you're responsible for would impair your ability to be objective.
