C? More like 'customer is always clueless' when it comes to performance audits. Leave the number-crunching to the pros, folks.

Hah, C is like saying 'the customer is always right' when it comes to performance audits. Sure, their perspective matters, but the auditors need to look at the big picture, not just customer complaints.

Option C is a bit of a head-scratcher. Customers' feedback is important, but it's not the be-all and end-all of performance measurement. Gotta keep it objective and data-driven, folks.

I'd go with D. Using ad hoc criteria like prior period comparisons or branch office comparisons makes sense as part of a comprehensive audit approach.

Option C? Really? Customers' feedback should be considered, but it's certainly not the 'first and foremost' priority for performance audits. These audits need to focus on objective, measurable criteria.

I think option C is not the best choice for performance audits. It should be more about objective criteria.
