Question 1
The internal audit activity (IAA) of an organization has been in existence for 10 years, but the board has not yet
approved its charter. However, the board is chaired by the chief executive officer (CEO) and includes the controller
and one outside board member. The chief audit executive (CAE) reports directly to the controller who approves the
IAA's work schedule. Thus, the IAA has never felt the need to push for a formal approval of the charter. The
organization is publicly held and has nine major divisions. The previous CAE was recently dismissed following a
dispute between the CAE and a major engagement client. A new CAE with significant experience in both public
accounting and internal auditing has just been hired. Within the first month, the new CAE encountered substantial
resistance from an engagement client regarding the nature of the work and the IAA's access to records. Moreover,
the CEO accused the CAE of not operating "in the best interests of the organization."
From the perspective of the internal audit activity, which of the following facts, by themselves, could contribute to a
lack of independence?
I. The CEO accused the new director of not operating "in the best interests of the organization."
II. The majority of audit committee members come from within the organization.
III. The IAA's charter has not been approved by the board.

A. I only.

Question 15
ia
The chief audit executive (CAE) of internal auditing of a mid-sized internal auditing organization was concerned that
management might outsource the internal auditing function. Therefore, the CAE adopted a very aggressive program
to promote the internal auditing department within the organization. The CAE planned to present the results to
management and the audit committee and recommend modification of the Internal Audit Charter after using the
new program. The following lists six actions the CAE took to promote a positive image within the organization:
1.
Audit assignments concentrated on economy and efficiency audits. The audits focused solely on cost savings
and each audit report highlighted potential costs to be saved. Negative findings were omitted. The focus on economy
and efficiency audits was new, but the auditees seemed very happy.
Drafts of all audit reports were carefully reviewed with the auditee to get their input. Their comments were
carefully considered when developing the final audit report.

marked departure from the previous approach of ensuring that all operations are reviewed on at least a three-year
interval.

4.
In order to save time, the CAE no longer required that a standard internal control questionnaire be
completed for each audit.
5.
When the auditors found that management and the auditee had not developed specific criteria or data to
evaluate the operations of the auditee, the audit team was instructed to perform research, develop specific criteria,
review the criteria with the auditee, and if acceptable, use it to evaluate the auditees operations. If the auditee
disagreed with the criteria, a negotiation took place until acceptable criteria could be agreed upon. The audit report
commented on the auditees operations in conjunction with the agreed-upon criteria.Is Action 5 a violation of the
Standards?

from the president of the organization:

investigation of this matter until informed by me to proceed. Under the confidentiality standard of your profession, I

Question 62
Two major retail organizations, both publicly traded and operating in the same geographic area, have recently
merged. Both are approximately the same size and have internal audit activities. Organization A has little EDI
experience. Organization B has invested heavily in information technology and has EDI connections with its major
vendors.
The board has asked the internal auditors from both organizations to analyze risk areas that should be addressed
after the merger. The chief audit executive (CAE) of Organization B has suggested that the two internal auditing
activities (IAAs) have a planning meeting to share work programs, scope of engagement coverage, and copies of
engagement communications that were delivered to their boards. Management has also suggested that the internal
auditors review the compatibility of the organizations' two computer systems and control philosophy for individual
store operations.
The two organizations agree to share data on store operations. The data reveal that three stores in company A are
characterized by significantly lower gross margins, higher-than-average sales volume, and higher levels of
employee bonuses. The three stores are part of a set of six that are managed by a relatively new section manager.

The internal auditor for a diversified organization is performing a preliminary analytical review of the home building
division. The division accounts for approximately 15% of the organization's revenues and profits. It operates in the
