I believe option C could also be a suitable assignment for the internal auditor.

Hah, can you imagine the auditor trying to audit her old department? 'Hey, remember that time I fired Bob for embezzling? Good times, good times.'

A review of the sales program she previously consulted on? Nope, nope, nope. That's a major red flag for independence.

Reviewing the sports club finances could work, as long as she doesn't have any personal involvement with that club. Gotta keep those independence lines clear, you know?

The consulting engagement on the accounts payable optimization initiative seems like the best option. She's not directly auditing her former department, so her objectivity should be intact.

Hmm, I don't think the auditor should do the operations audit of the accounts payable department. That could be seen as a conflict of interest since she used to work there.
