Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The group engagement partner is the auditor responsible for signing the audit report. This is a critical role as their signature indicates that they have reviewed the audit work performed and are providing an opinion on the financial statements. Option A is incorrect as the group engagement partner is responsible for engaging staff to gather evidence, not enlisting the assistance of internal auditors. Option C is incorrect as providing evidence to the audit committee is not the direct responsibility of the group engagement partner, although they may be involved in the process. Option D is partly correct as the group engagement partner is responsible for engaging staff, but not specifically for gathering evidence themselves.
