The audit committee needs to be made up of a majority of non-executive directors to ensure their independence. That's a key principle of good corporate governance.

Haha, I bet the company's finance team wishes they could set the audit fee. 'Sorry, we're a little short this quarter. How about half-price?'

I'm surprised that option A is even on the list. Isn't that a basic no-no for corporate governance?

Yup, I agree. The audit committee should be independent of the company's management, so they can provide objective oversight.

I also think option A is the correct answer. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment and removal of external auditors.

The audit committee should not be setting the external audit fee. That's a clear conflict of interest!
