If the auditor is hesitant to rely on the appraisal of a specialist hired by management, the auditor may hire a specialist to test the appraisal. This will provide the auditor with independent and objective evidence to support the accuracy and reliability of the appraisal. The other options, such as making the appraisal, adjusting the values to zero, or resigning from the engagement, are not practical solutions and do not address the underlying concerns with the specialist hired by management.
