Haha, D? Are you kidding me? Might as well just hand over your internal audit badge and call it a day. C is the way to go, no doubt about it.

D is a terrible idea! Accommodating management's position just because they're being difficult is a recipe for disaster. Integrity and independence are crucial in internal audit.

I agree with C. Relationship is important, but it shouldn't come at the expense of addressing a high-risk issue. The audit activity has a responsibility to the organization.

Option C is the best approach. Internal audit should follow the proper escalation process to ensure the issue is addressed properly, even if management is being uncompromising.
