I’m really unsure about D; I know internal audits help with external audits, but I don’t think that's their primary role.

I feel like C could also be a contender since internal audits do help improve efficiency, but I still think B captures the essence better.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the independence of internal audit, which makes me think B is definitely the right choice, but I’m not completely sure.

I'm pretty sure the Integrated Reporting Framework is focused on more than just financial metrics, so A is definitely not one of the principles. B and E sound like they could be correct, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know SMTP is for sending email, but I'm not sure about the other options. I'll have to review my notes on email protocols to make sure I get this one right.
