Surprised that no one mentioned legal implications first. Shouldn't that be a priority?

I recall a practice question where we had to weigh the implications of each option. I think requesting a meeting with the board could open up a dialogue, but I’m not entirely confident.

I feel like sharing concerns with the legal department might be too confrontational. Maybe an internal audit review would be more appropriate?

Okay, I've got a strategy - I'll analyze each statement individually and see if I can identify which one(s) are correct based on my understanding of inheritance tax rules.

An internal audit review could shed some light on the board's decision-making process. Might uncover some interesting skeletons in the closet, you never know!

Haha, maybe the CIO should consider a career in stand-up comedy. Challenging the board's decision is no easy task, but they gotta do what they gotta do!
