D, all of these. The audits can expose both assets and liabilities, and if the organization doesn't address the problems, it's just setting itself up for trouble down the line.

I think the answer is B. The audits can become a source of damaging evidence of liability if the organization doesn't act on the deficiencies. Sweeping issues under the rug is never a good idea.
