In making a decision whether to accept or reject an engagement, an auditor should consider the competence, independence, and integrity of the prospective client's management, as well as its ability to serve the client properly. Furthermore, the auditor is expected to perform the following (choose all the items that apply to the previous statement): a. Obtain a preliminary knowledge of the client's business and industry to determine whether the client management has the degree of competence required by the engagement. b. Consider whether there are any threats to the firm's independence and objectivity, and if so, whether adequate safeguards can be established. c. Evaluate auditability. d. Investigate the integrity of the client's management through inquiry to appropriate parties or communication with the successor auditor. e. Agree on the terms of the engagement and prepare a management representation letter. f. Evaluate the firm's ability to serve the prospective client.

John, the audit partner in charge of Cash CPA Firm, is discussing the concept of risk with a new audit intern, Sarah. Sarah explains that she understands what risk is but doesn't understand why auditors would need to concern themselves with it. Which of the following represents John's best reply? A. Risk is something that all auditors need to be concerned about. The only way that risk can be eliminated is through an effective audit. B. Risk can really mean anything that stops the company from achieving its operational and financial goals. Part of the auditor's job is to identify risks that may materially affect the client's financial statements. C. Part of what the auditors do toward the end of an audit is complete the risk assessment phase. This involves substantive testing and discussing risk with the client's major shareholders. D. A major component of risk is the auditor's risk of material misstatement, which is inversely related to control and detection risk.
