D.

Answers
D.
The internal controls guiding contract management are not operating effectively
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The appropriate conclusion that can be drawn from the findings is that the internal controls guiding contract management are not operating effectively. The listed findings, such as noncompliance with contract provisions, lack of monitoring compliance with contract obligations and deliverables, and absence of contract agreements with key vendors, indicate significant control deficiencies in the contract management process. These deficiencies suggest that the controls intended to ensure compliance and effective management of contracts are either inadequate or not functioning as intended.
