Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The title of the report indicates that it is focused on the Safer Skies Initiative's goal of reducing accident rates by 2007. This suggests that the auditors were conducting a performance audit of the initiative's progress towards achieving its goal, rather than a financial statement audit or a compliance audit of air safety regulations. Additionally, the report appears to be evaluating the effectiveness of the initiative, rather than air control regulations specifically, making option D less likely.
