    D.

    1-Professional Competence, 2-Self-review, 3-Advocacy, 4-Integrity

    How to approach this question

    Match the definitions. Bias = Objectivity. Own work = Self-review. Financial/career gain = Self-interest. Secrecy = Confidentiality.

    Full Answer

    A.1-Objectivity, 2-Self-review, 3-Self-interest, 4-Confidentiality✓ Correct
    Task 1: The principle of Objectivity requires not allowing bias or conflict of interest to override judgment. Task 2: Auditing work you prepared is a Self-review threat. Task 3: A lucrative job offer creates a Self-interest threat, as the auditor may act favorably to secure the job. Task 4: Respecting secrecy is the principle of Confidentiality.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Objectivity with Integrity. Objectivity is specifically about avoiding bias and conflicts of interest.
