Option A is the way to go! The auditor should just revise the plan themselves. How hard can it be, right? It's not like the auditee knows their own business or anything.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Maybe the auditor can flip a coin to decide? Or better yet, ask the auditee to do it - that's their problem now!

D is my pick. Benchmarking the deficient area is a smart move to get the plan on the right track.

I believe D is not the best choice because suggesting benchmarking may not address the specific deficiencies in the plan.

B sounds good to me. Escalating it to the next level of management will ensure the plan gets the attention it deserves.
