Given the scarcity of internal audit resources, a chief audit executive (CAE) decided not to
schedule a follow-up of audit recommendations when developing engagement work schedules.
Does the CAE's decision violate the Standards?
- No, because the Standards do not specify whether follow-up is needed.
- No, because when there is evidence of sufficient motivation by the client, there is no need for follow-up action.
- Yes, because scarcity of resources is not a sufficient reason to omit follow-up action.
- Yes, because the Standards require the auditors to determine whether the client has appropriately implemented all of the auditor's recommendations.
