監査人は建設機械の調達に関する入札結果を審査しました。監査人は豊富な経験に基づき、入札価格は高すぎると考えています。関連する結論を導き出すために必要なのは次のうちどれですか。
正解:C
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
While professional experience and judgment are important, conclusions in internal audit must be supported by objective, sufficient, and reliable evidence (Standard 2310). Merely believing that bid prices are too high is not enough. The auditor must provide substantiated and comparative evidence (C) - such as market benchmarks, independent price analyses, or comparisons with similar tenders - to justify the conclusion. A description of policies (A) or tender process summaries (B) provide context but do not prove overpricing. An impact analysis (D) highlights consequences but does not establish whether prices were indeed unreasonable.
Therefore, the correct requirement is to gather and document comparative evidence that supports the auditor's professional judgment.
