Rodney Brick is completing a Master of Accounting part-time and has taken on a role as an auditing assistant with an audit/accounting firm and his first job is to assist with auditing the books of Daffey Jones Ltd, a major retailer. Whilst undertaking the audit, Rodney comes across certain financial information that he believes will assist him in completing one of the auditing assignments he is currently working on so he copies the information and uses it in the assignment, although he is careful by removing all reference to Daffey Jones in order to preserve the client's confidentiality.

Question: Has Rodney breached any auditing standards/regulations and if so, what and why?
