{note - the answer is not lengthy i was break into points for your better understanding..}

•There is violation of Independence, integrity and objectivity -

•General Standards

The auditor must have adequate technical training and proficiency to perform the audit.

• because there is the violation of obligation of an good manager..she submitted the report without observing..

Policies and procedures should be established to provide the firm with reasonable assurance that personnel maintain independence (in fact and in appearance) in all required circumstances, perform all professional responsibilities with integrity, and maintain objectivity in discharging professional responsibilities.

• integrity, and objectivity will be considered to be impaired. Independence encompasses an impartiality that recognizes an obligation for fairness not only to management and owners of a business but also to those who may otherwise use the firm's report.

The firm and its personnel must be free from any obligation to or interest in the client, its management, or its owners.

• Integrity requires personnel to be honest and candid within the constraints of client confidentiality.

Service and the public trust should not be subordinated to personal gain and advantage.

•Objectivity is a state of mind and a quality that lends value to a firm's services. The principle of objectivity imposes the obligation to be impartial, intellectually honest, and free of conflicts of interest.
