Answer to Problem 1CYBK

The given statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

An audit firm conducts audit engagements of their clients and it is usually not likely to face litigation costs. Audit firms keep the documentation of each process of audit engagement and conclusions are drawn. The recording of sufficient documents and pieces of evidence reduced the risk of future litigations which is why the audit firm is not likely to see the litigation costs as the highest single cost. Hence, the given statement is false.
