Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joel's role in the audit is to be available to answer questions and grant access to payroll records. As the payroll accountant, he is responsible for maintaining accurate payroll records and must cooperate with the auditors to ensure the audit is conducted efficiently and effectively. Being absent or preventing access to records would hinder the audit process and potentially result in negative consequences for the company. Serving on the audit staff for other companies is not relevant to Joel's role in this specific audit.
