Teleconn, a UK-based telecommunications provider, initiated a BCMS based on ISO 22301 to ensure reliable and consistent services.

The outsourced internal auditor was given unrestricted access to employees and documented information necessary for an effective audit.
The top management granted the outsourced internal auditor unrestricted access to employees and documented information necessary to conduct an effective audit. Is this appropriate?

I recall that in our case studies, unrestricted access was often emphasized, but I wonder if there are exceptions for outsourced auditors. Option A seems right, but I'm hesitant.
