Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Audit quality is inconsistent around the world due to factors such as differences in regulatory frameworks, cultural differences, and varying levels of auditor independence and expertise. The level of consistency cannot be attributed solely to the implementation of International Auditing Standards, the dominance of the Big Four accounting firms, or the import of well-educated auditors from larger countries.
