Which of the following is the most appropriate way to ensure that a newly formed internal audit activity remains free from undue influence by management?
D) Establishing the internal audit activity's position within the organization in an audit charter is a great idea. This formalizes the independence and authority of the internal audit function.
C) Ensuring the chief audit executive reports administratively to the audit committee seems like the most effective way to maintain independence. The audit committee is a neutral body that can provide oversight and protection from undue influence by management.
