Answer: C
When an auditor observes such conditions, it is best to
fully apprise the auditee and suggest that further problem
resolutions be attempted. Recording it as a minor error and
leaving it to auditee's discretion would be inappropriate,
and neglecting the error would indicate that the auditor has
not taken steps to further probe the issue to its logical end.
