Answer: A
Independence may be impaired if the IS auditor is, or has
been, actively involved in the development, acquisition and
implementation of the application system. Choices B and C
are situations that do not impair the IS auditor's
independence. Choice D is incorrect because the IS auditor's
independence is not impaired by providing advice on known
best practices.
