Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A risk of pre-planning an audit is the supplier has time to prepare for it. It's a good thing in that they can get their paperwork in order but the downside is they can overprepare so you don't get a realis-tic representation of what they're doing. One way they can do this is coaching staff in what to say to the auditors.

Aha, I've got it! C) tail spend is the right answer. Wait, did Guillerme get a raise for doing all this analysis? If not, he should probably start looking for a new job!

This is a tricky one, but I think C) tail spend is the way to go. Guillerme must be thrilled to be a Category Manager - better him than me, handling all that paperwork!

I was about to choose B) one-off purchases, but then I remembered that those are usually high-value, low-volume items. C) tail spend is the correct answer.
