I lean towards option D because I believe all those factors are interconnected, especially the auditor's knowledge and the level of risk.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about balancing manual techniques with CAATs based on risk levels.

I think time constraints and audit risk are definitely important, but I can't recall if management's acceptance of CAATs findings plays a big role.

I remember we discussed how the auditor's expertise is crucial, but I'm not sure if it's the only factor to consider.

I'm feeling good about this one. I remember learning that Cortex XDR has security measures in place to assess the risk of scripts before allowing them to run. So I'm leaning towards B as the right answer.

This question seems straightforward - I just need to identify the circumstance where sample size doesn't need to be increased. Let me think this through carefully.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. Inelastic demand means a small change in price leads to a small change in quantity demanded, right? I'll go with A.
