Show Suggested 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.
