Answer (3)

Robert Moore cannot ethically work on his firm's audit of DDG Bank due to the conflict of interest from his mortgage with the bank. Independence is crucial in auditing, and having any financial interest in the bank undermines that. Hence, the correct answer is that no condition would allow him to work on the audit.
