Well, at least they didn't include an option about the internal auditors doing a dance routine to ensure compliance. That would be a bit too much, even for this exam.

Hmm, co-opting a manager from the department being audited? That sounds like a conflict of interest to me. I'll go with C and D for sure.

I'm not sure about option B. Reporting directly to the board might be a bit extreme, unless there's a really serious issue with a director. I'd go with C and E myself.

I think options C and D are the correct ones. The internal audit department should provide recommendations to improve the control systems and actions to be taken after any engagement.

I'm not sure about option A though. Co-opting a manager from the department being audited could create conflicts of interest.
