Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer:

It could fulfill the requirement for internal auditing is correct.

Incorrect Answers:

All other answers are incorrect. These are advantages of control self-assessments, as internal controls will improve, employees and experts will be more involved in the process, and potential risks could be detected earlier. However, control self-assessments should not be mistaken for a substitute for an internal audit, because internal audits are not completely independent, unbiased, and objective since they are performed by stakeholders in the process and not by a trained, objective auditor.
