  1. AThe IA must deliver an annual audited balance sheet regardless of the client's request✓ Correct answer
  2. BThe IA may forgo delivery of the balance sheet if the client requests
  3. CDelivery is only necessary if the client has custody
  4. DThe IA must also deliver quarterly account statements
Explanation

Why AThe IA must deliver an annual audited balance sheet regardless of the client's request
