Answer / guest
Answer: D
Evidence obtained from outside sources is usually more
reliable than that obtained from within the organization.
Confirmation letters received from outside parties, such as

usually highly reliable. Testing performed by an auditor may
not be reliable if the auditor did not have a good
understanding of the technical area under review.
