I would say that answer B is the answer, as auditing has always been about fair presentation.

 

Modern audit is aimed at mitigating practice risk, personal liability risk, therefore the focus is on the following:

 

  • Independence and code of professional conduct
  • Reportable irregularities has been highlighted since the global financial instrument crash of2009; which prompted the re-writing of IAS39; IFRS7.
  • Enron was a wake-up call to auditing field
