Explore the vulnerabilities that may result because of trust built through working relationships.
Focus on the relationship between the former senior manager, who now works for the client, and the former subordinate who has now been promoted.

Explore the vulnerabilities that may result because of trust built through working relationships. In the current environment, what situations create these vulnerabilities for auditors? This is an informal discussion. Attached as a word file is the case study material. I’m also attaching additional links for resource if needed.
