Question 20

An internal auditor with a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification applied for a new position with another company as the director of purchasing. Within a month of his appointment, the director signed a contract to procure a large order from a new supplier with the best tender in terms of price, quality, and delivery. Shortly after signing the contract, the supplier presented the director with a voucher for a weekend breakaway on a game farm. Which one of the following statements with regard to the acceptance of the gift is incorrect?

A. Acceptance of the gift would violate the Institute of Internal Auditors Code of Ethics and would be prohibited for a CIA, even though he was not acting as an internal auditor.

B. Because the contract had been signed before the gift was offered, acceptance of the gift would violate the Institute of Internal Auditors code of ethics and possibly the organisations code of conduct.

C. Because the director is no longer acting as an internal auditor, although holding a CIA designation, acceptance of the gift would also be governed by the organisations code of conduct.

D. Acceptance of the gift would be acceptable if it was customary for directors to receive gift vouchers.
