Answer: D
Independence should be continually assessed by the auditor
and management. This assessment should consider such factors
as changes in personal relationships, financial interests
and prior job assignments and responsibilities. The fact
that the employee has worked in IS for many years may not in
itself ensure credibility. The audit department's needs
should be defined and any candidate should be evaluated
against those requirements. In addition, the length of
service will not ensure technical competency, and evaluating
an individual's qualifications based on the age of the
individual is not a good criterion and is illegal in many
parts of the world.
