Option C is the way to go. The internal auditor can help keep things on track, and the external auditor can double-check during the surveillance audit. It's a team effort!

I'm just hoping the internal auditor doesn't use this as an opportunity to 'cook the books' and make everything look perfect. Trust, but verify!

This is a trick question! The internal auditor is probably the one who caused the issues in the first place. The external auditor should do the follow-up to maintain independence.

I agree with Matthew. Option C makes the most sense to ensure the corrective actions are properly implemented.
