Selected Answer: B
The chief audit executive (CAE) is typically in the best position to mediate disputes between internal auditors and management. The CAE can use their authority and experience to facilitate a resolution based on professional judgment and standards.

Disclose the client's differing opinion in the final report: This can be done if the issue remains unresolved even after escalation, but it’s a last resort, not the most helpful resolution strategy.
