Selected Answer: A
The auditor’s best course of action is to raise an audit issue for the lack of simulated testing (Option A). This directly addresses the identified control gap, ensures it is formally recorded, and prompts the organization to mitigate the risk by implementing testing in the future. While understanding the BCP’s current effectiveness is important, the priority is to acknowledge and report the deficiency, consistent with auditing principles.
