Answer Posted / guest
Answer: D
Independence may be impaired if the auditor becomes involved
actively in the design and implementation of the application
system. For example, if the auditor becomes a
decision-making member of the project team, the auditor's
ability to perform an independent application development
review of the application system is impaired. The auditor
may recommend control and other system enhancements, perform
an application development review and perform an independent
evaluation of the application after its implementation
without impairing independence.
