I see your point, Carol. Intimidation could definitely lead to bias in the audit process.

I believe option D) Intimidation could also threaten impartiality, if auditors feel pressured by the client.

Absolutely! I mean, come on, if I had to choose an auditor, I'd want someone who's competent and experienced, not some fresh-faced newbie who's gonna get pushed around by the client. C, D, and E are the clear answers, no doubt about it. And anyone who tries to argue otherwise is just messing with us, plain and simple.

Self-audit is a clear conflict of interest as well.

I agree with Madonna. Familiarity with the client could lead to bias, intimidation could sway the auditor's judgement, and self-auditing is a clear conflict of interest. I'm not sure why competence and experience are even listed as options - those seem like desirable qualities for an auditor.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I think the obvious threats to impartiality in an audit context would be options C, D, and E. Familiarity with the client, intimidation, and self-auditing could all potentially compromise the independence and objectivity required for an effective audit.
