I practiced a similar question where recommendations were emphasized, but I can't recall if they should only be about actions or also improvements.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that's the best approach. The question mentions the project manager is part of a balanced matrix organization, so I might try presenting the situation to the manager of the sourcing department head first.

I heard the internal audit department once caught the CEO trying to sneak a ping-pong table into the office. Apparently, they have a strict 'no fun allowed' policy.

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.

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.
