I don't know, I feel like they could provide some input on new hires.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems like they could help set it up.

Internal auditors shouldn't establish programs, that's a conflict of interest.

A is definitely the right answer, they need to stay independent!

I thought internal auditors could assess risks, so maybe it's not D. I’m leaning towards A since it seems like they shouldn't set up the program themselves.

I practiced a similar question where auditors had to avoid conflicts of interest. I feel like providing assurance on training could be a conflict too, but I think that's option C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about auditors not being involved in creating policies. Maybe it's option A?

I think the internal auditor shouldn't establish and provide assurance on the anti-money laundering program. That sounds like a management role, right?

Aha, I think I've got it! The key is to identify the activity that would compromise the internal auditor's independence or objectivity. That's the one they must not perform.

I'm a bit unsure about this question. The options all seem related to anti-money laundering, which is an important area, but I'm not sure which one the internal auditor is not allowed to do. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I need to carefully consider each option and think about the role and responsibilities of an internal auditor to determine which activity they are not permitted to perform.

This question seems straightforward. I'll focus on the key phrase "must not perform" to identify the activity that an internal auditor is not allowed to do.

I agree, Option A is a big no-no. Internal auditors need to maintain independence, can't be part of the processes they're reviewing.

Option A seems like a conflict of interest, the internal auditor shouldn't be involved in establishing the program they're supposed to audit.
