This meeting allows auditors to discuss their findings with management, address any disagreements, and clarify the facts before the final report is issued. It does not require the attendance of both the chief audit executive and the chief executive over the activity (B), nor is it solely for reviewing anticipated results (C) or the performance of the internal auditors (D).
