Selected Answer: A
When relying on an expert consultant in an audit, an auditor must ensure the consultant is qualified and competent. The most direct way to do this is to: 1. Review the expert's relevant experience and qualifications. 2. Confirm their knowledge and competence in the specific area of expertise required by the audit.
