答案:C
Explanation
Choice “c” is correct. Inquiries should include specific questions regarding, among other things, facts that might bear on the integrity of management; disagreements with management as to accounting principles, auditing procedures, or other similarly significant matters; communications with those charged with governance regarding fraud, acts of noncompliance with laws and regulations, and matters relating to internal control; and the predecessor's understanding as to the reasons for the change of auditors.
Choice “b” is incorrect. Specialized industry accounting principles might be discussed; however, the successor would be more likely to inquire about items specific to the client.
Choice “a” is incorrect. The competency of the client's internal audit staff might be discussed; however, inquiries of the predecessor auditor regarding the staff are not required.
