Question

I completed this assignment but had a hard time with some of the answers. Can somebody help me by reviewing my answers, advising if there are any errors, and explaining how I should be reading the chart to arrive at the correct answer? Thank you!

Collaborative Auditing Incorporated (CAI), a public accounting firm, provides internal auditing services. When a client company contracts with CAI, some CAI auditors pair with client company employees to form two-person auditing teams. Teams complete auditing tasks. During a contract, a manager assigns tasks to each of the two-person teams. Teams must complete many such tasks before CAI can issue a final risk assessment.

For questions 1-10 circle the best answer to each question.

1. An account rep worries that client employees with more experience than auditors might unduly influence the findings. Can she list all teams for a given client where the client employee’s hire date is earlier than the auditor's?

Explanation / Answer

The dotted lines in the model represent non identifying relationship whereas the solid lines show identifying relationships. Identifying relationship implies that existence of any action depends upon its parent's action. Whereas the non identifying relationship implies an action may not be identified by any its previous action.

2. Yes. Its possible as dashed lines are supported here implying the creation of team does not require knowing both team memebers.

3. Yes it is possible in the same manner as point 2 was possible.

4. Yes assignments can also be assigned to team even before pairing as the team can be formed before pairing and assignment also has dotted line signifying non identifying relationship.
