Faced with a complex, highly technical construction audit engagement, the chief audit executive (CAE) considered complementing the current internal audit resources by engaging the services of a civil engineer.
Which of the following should the CAE consider in determining whether the engineer possesses the necessary skills to perform the engagement?
1. Professional certification, license, or other recognition of the engineer's competence in the relevant discipline.
2. Experience of the engineer in the type of work being considered.
3. Compensation or other incentives that the engineer may receive.
4. The extent of other ongoing services that the engineer may be performing for the organization.
