During an Audit of Executive Travel, an Auditor Noted That

During an audit of executive travel, an auditor noted that the president's travel expense reimbursements were approved by an executive secretary who reported to the president.

Which of the following represents the auditor's best recommendation in this situation?

A) The organization's reimbursement policy should be amended to grant the president's executive secretary the authority to approve the president's travel expense reimbursements.
B) The approval policy for executive travel should be considered at the next meeting of the audit committee of the board of directors.
C) The president's travel expense reimbursements should be reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer.
D) The president's noncompliance should be considered immaterial.
