The board should definitely be informed right away!

Wait, can an auditor just change classifications on their own?

I think documenting the missing classifications is crucial.

I feel like correcting the classifications immediately could lead to issues later. Better to follow a process and identify the owners first, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about notifying management first in similar practice questions. Maybe that's what we should do?

I think the auditor should document the missing classifications first. It seems like a logical step to have a record before taking further action.

I recall that documenting findings is crucial, but I wonder if notifying the board is also necessary in this case. It's a bit confusing!

Manufacturing, for sure. The question gives all the classic signs - heavy investment in physical assets, need for high-volume production. This is a textbook example of a manufacturing business.

Option D looks good to me. Performance testing on mobile is really tricky with all the different hardware and network conditions to account for.
