Quality and fair discipline
Question 1 - Attempt before opening the worked answers
Imagine Tallow Advisory provides tax and compilation services only. It performs no audits, reviews or other
assurance engagements. Several client schedules were issued without the review required by its own
procedures. Staff say reviewers were consistently overloaded. A client also disputes an agreed fee because a
competitor charges less.
1A
Which quality-management standard applies to this practice? Explain the deciding service fact.
1B
Propose an immediate response and a change that addresses the underlying quality problem. Explain how to
check the change works.
1C
Distinguish the ordinary fee disagreement from possible professional misconduct. What changes if the client
provides evidence suggesting deliberately fabricated time records? Explain why an allegation is not a finding.
