I recall that automatically labeling a function as high-risk without evidence isn't a good practice, so option D seems wrong to me. It feels like it could lead to unfair assumptions.

I practiced a similar question where the auditor had to navigate conflicts, and I feel like option B could be a safe choice to avoid further conflict, but it might not be thorough.

I think option C makes sense because personal disagreements could definitely impact the risk assessment, but I wonder if it could bias the results.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. Should I just have someone else do the purchasing part to avoid any bias? Or should I include the disagreements as a factor in the risk assessment?

Okay, I've got this. The key is finding a compensation method that aligns organizational goals with individual employee motivation. I think profit sharing is the best option here.
