Suggested Answer: B, D

2 and 4 are correct. Audits should be unscheduled so that any issues can't be covered up in advance. Interviews with workers should also be conducted in private as this will allow them to speak their mind with confidence. Where interviews are conducted as a group there may be peer-pressure to say the correct thing. especially if there are managers around. see p.88 for information on Audits

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we debated the effectiveness of advance notice. It seems like option A could lead to less transparency.

I'm not sure if group interviews would really capture everyone's perspective. Maybe private meetings would be better for honest feedback?

I remember discussing the importance of unannounced audits in class, so I think option B makes sense for getting an accurate picture.
