A request to provide counseling services on ethical matters.

Answers
D.

A request to provide counseling services on ethical matters.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

If the internal audit activity accepts a request to determine appropriate risk management responses for management, it would impair its independence. The role of internal audit is to provide assurance and consulting services, but not to take on management responsibilities such as making decisions on risk responses. Doing so would compromise the objectivity and independence required of the internal audit function.

Reference: The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards), specifically Standard 1100 - Independence and Objectivity, and Standard 1112 - Chief Audit Executive Roles Beyond Internal Auditing.
