Two years? That's almost as long as it takes to get a degree in internal auditing. Guess they really want to make sure we're not cheating the system.

I'm just here for the free doughnuts. As long as the auditors don't find any skeletons in my closet, I'm good with whatever the answer is.

A) Three months? Seriously? That's like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. Might as well just skip the audit altogether.

D) Two years is the way to go. Gotta make sure there's no lingering influence or bias from the previous involvement.
