Solution

The correct answer is c. The manner in which exceptions and unusual matters disclosed by the auditor's procedures were resolved or treated.

This is because the auditor's working papers are a record of the procedures applied, the tests performed, the information obtained, and the pertinent conclusions reached in the engagement. They serve primarily to provide the principal support for the auditor's report. Therefore, they would include how exceptions and unusual matters were resolved or treated.

Option a is incorrect because the personal financial status of members of the client's management team is not relevant to the audit of the financial statements.
