Selected Answer: A
A. Negative press associated with the audit firm may bring into question the integrity of the audit performed against the organization's systems. Reason been that the ethical violations and negative press surrounding the audit firm could impact the perception of their integrity, and this could influence the overall trustworthiness of the audit process. An audit performed by a firm with a tarnished reputation could undermine the reliability and credibility of the audit results. Therefore, it is crucial to consider these factors when selecting a vendor.
