Which of the following is the approriate action to take if an IT auditor is assigned to audit the business continuity plan that she contributed to developing?
Disclose to management the possible conflict of interest after completing the audit assignment.
Refuse the assignment.
Disclose to the business continuity planning (BCP) team of the potential conflict of interest prior to beginning the assignment.
Communicate the possibility of conflict of interest to management prior to starting the assignment.
Communicating the possibility of a conflict of interest to management prior to starting the assignment is the correct answer. A possible conflict of interest, likely to affect the IS auditor's independence, should be brought to the attention of management prior to starting the assignment. Declining the assignment is not the correct answer because the assignment could be accepted after obtaining management approval. Informing management of the possible conflict of interest after completion of the audit assignment is not correct because approval should be obtained prior to commencement and not after the completion of the assignment. Informing the BCP team of the possible conflict of interest prior to starting of the assignment is not the correct answer since the BCP team would not have the authority to decide on this issue.
