Clearly C is the way to go. Although, I'm curious if the auditor gets a bonus for finding both types of misstatements. Better cover all the bases!

I don't think auditors get a bonus for finding misstatements, but it's definitely their job to uncover all potential issues.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and C. But hey, at least they didn't throw in a 'None of the above' option. That would really throw us for a loop!

I'm going with D. Neither A nor B, because the real answer is 'All of the above and then some'. Auditors love finding every possible mistake!
