Hah, this is a no-brainer! Of course it's C. Auditors have to be on the lookout for both types of misstatements, or else they might as well just hand out free money to the fraud enthusiasts. Gotta stay vigilant, folks!

Ooh, this one's tricky! I'm gonna have to go with C as well. Can't forget about those sneaky asset misappropriations, they're just as important as the financial reporting shenanigans.
