Option A is wrong because the CAE doesn't need the approval of both the board and Snr. management to release prior audit report. However, depending on the sensitivity of the report, the CAE may consult with Snr. Mgt. and or legal counsel. Which is were judgement is required as deemed necessary and appropriate.

Implementation Standard 2440.A2 states the CAE must consult with senior management and/or legal counsel as appropriate. Therefore, the board and senior management do not approve the distribution.

possibly because it says previous audits - so they are less sensitive in nature - possibly?
