Selected Answer: C

Option C involves the identification of asset misappropriation, a form of fraud, due to ineffective controls. Such findings are significant and require immediate attention from senior management to address the underlying control weaknesses and prevent further fraudulent activities. According to the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the chief audit executive (CAE) must report significant risk and control issues, including fraud risks, to senior management and the board.
