Option C is the way to go. Needing the CFO's approval to request information? That's like asking a fox to guard the henhouse. No way that's going to end well for objectivity.

Haha, imagine if the auditor was related to the CFO in option A. Talk about a family reunion during the audit! Definitely a recipe for a lack of objectivity.

Yeah, auditing a friend's department would definitely make it hard to stay objective.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Both scenarios could lead to compromised objectivity, but I think C might be the bigger issue. Having to get approval from the CFO could really limit the auditor's independence.

But what about option A? Reporting to the CFO could also create a conflict of interest.

Ooh, I'm going with option D on this one. Auditing your bestie's department? Recipe for disaster! Talk about a major conflict of interest.

I agree with Corinne. Auditing a department led by a close friend can lead to bias.

Option B seems like the most obvious choice. Having been an accounts receivable intern could seriously impact the auditor's objectivity, even if it was years ago.
