Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer:
Collect the evidence when the auditor has sufficient storage available for the evidence is correct.
Incorrect Answers:
All other answers are incorrect. The evidence may contain sensitive information, so e-mailing it or storing it in a personal cloud service may be risky and may even be a violation of laws or regulations. Failure to collect the evidence would compromise the integrity of the audit. It’s best for the auditor to safely collect the evidence when he or she is able to do so.
