Haha, D) Custom Audit Software (CAS)? Really? That's like asking an accountant to write their own calculator app. B) Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is the way to go, people!

B) Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is the obvious choice here. I can't believe anyone would even consider A) Parallel Simulation - that's just for testing the accuracy of the software, not the data itself.

I was leaning towards C) Test Data, but after thinking it through, B) Generalized Audit Software (GAS) makes more sense. It's the tool that allows auditors to directly interact with the data.

Test Data is useful too, but GAS definitely gives auditors more flexibility in their testing.
