Which of the following would show appropriate disclosure of nonconformance with the Standards?
A.
The chief audit executive (CAE) documented in the personnel file a critical conflict of interest involving an internal auditor on an upcoming contracting engagement.
B.
The CAE discussed with the board an issue regarding the internal audit activity performing an IT engagement without proper skills and knowledge.
C.
The CAE met with the peer review team to discuss an internal auditor’s failure to meet the annual requirements for continuing professional education.
D.
The CAE revealed to operational managers that he failed to appropriately consider risks while he was developing the audit plan.
Appropriate disclosure of nonconformance with the Standards must be made to senior management and the board, especially when the nonconformance:
Affects the internal audit activity's ability to provide independent, objective assurance or
Significantly impacts the overall audit function's credibility and effectiveness.
Option B describes a situation where the internal audit activity performed an engagement without the required skills, directly violating the Proficiency and Due Professional Care requirements under the Standards.
The CAE's action of reporting this issue to the board is the correct and required disclosure channel for significant nonconformance.
