Yearly audits? Nah, they can happen more often depending on the org.

I thought audits were done more frequently than just once a year!

Wait, they don't have an advisory role? That seems off.

I’m leaning towards A because it makes sense that they need to be independent to provide an objective assessment.

I feel like I read somewhere that internal audits can be conducted more frequently than just once a year, so C seems off to me.

I remember a practice question that mentioned the advisory role of internal audits, so I don't think B is correct.

I think internal audits are supposed to be independent, but I'm not sure if that means they can't be part of the organization at all.

The yearly part seems like a trick question to me. I don't think internal audits have to be done every single year - it probably depends on the organization and what they need. I'll focus on the independence aspect.

Okay, I remember learning that internal audits are not the same as external audits, which are conducted by an independent third party. Internal audits are done by the organization itself, so they can't be completely independent of the organization.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know internal audits are supposed to be objective, but I'm not sure if that means they have no advisory role at all. I'll have to think about that one.

I'm pretty confident about this one. I think the key is that internal audits are meant to be independent of the activities being audited, even if they are part of the same organization.

Wait, internal audits are a thing? I thought we just randomly showed up at the office and asked the boss a bunch of questions. No wonder they never take me seriously.

Well, if internal audits aren't independent, how can they be objective? A has got to be the correct answer. Unless, of course, the question was a trick and the real answer is 'they provide free donuts to the audited team'.

Definitely, without independence, internal audits would lose their effectiveness.

Conducting internal audits yearly? That's a bit too rigid, don't you think? I'd say option C is a no-go.
