According to the standards of the profession, which of the following circumstances will prevent a CPA performing audit engagements from being independent?

a. Litigation with a client relating to billing for consulting services for which the amount is immaterial.

b. Employment of the CPA's spouse as a client's internal auditor.

c. Acting as an honorary trustee for a not-for-profit organization client.

d. Obtaining a collateralized automobile loan from a financial institution client.

答案：B

Explanation

Choice "b" is correct. Independence of a member is impaired if the CPA's spouse is employed by the client in a position which is audit-sensitive. Examples of positions that are audit-sensitive include cashier, internal auditor, accounting supervisor, purchasing agent, or inventory warehouse supervisor.

Choice "d" is incorrect. The following types of loans do not impair independence:

1. Automobile loans,

2. Loans of the surrender value under terms of an insurance policy,

3. Borrowings fully collateralized by cash deposits at the same financial institution, and

4. Credit cards and cash advances on checking accounts with an aggregate unpaid balance of $10,000 or less.

Choice "a" is incorrect. Litigation not related to the engagement for an immaterial amount does not impair independence.

Choice "c" is incorrect. Acting as an honorary trustee for a not-for-profit company does not impair independence.
