Integrity? Psh, who needs that when you've got a silver tongue and a knack for spinning the facts? Just kidding, of course. C is definitely the way to go. Auditors have to be beyond reproach, no ifs, ands, or buts!

Hmm, interesting. I was thinking B, but now I'm not so sure. Avoiding challenges is one thing, but true integrity is about so much more. C seems like the best answer to me - it's the foundation for the whole internal audit function.

I'd have to go with D. After all, what's the point of an internal audit if the results can't be relied upon by decision-makers? Integrity ensures the users of our work can trust the information they're basing their decisions on.

Yup, I agree with Marylou. Integrity is not just about avoiding challenges, it's about being able to stand up for your findings and recommendations without fear or favor. Choice C captures that well.

Integrity is the foundation of an internal auditor's credibility. Choice C is spot on - it enables the internal audit activity to demonstrate independence, which is crucial for building trust and providing objective insights.
