Explanation:

As per American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), members have to abide by a strict code of conduct which relates to performance and discharge of responsibilities.

When a member performs non attest services for a attest client, an individual for oversight needs to be designated who must possess suitable skills, knowledge, or experience.

The designated person should be able to understand the scope, nature and objectives of non attest services.

Such a person should agree upon the nature scope and objectives of such non attest services performed by the member and he is not required to supervise the member for routine discharge of services.

The person should receive progress reports and periodically review them.
