Which of the following is true regarding the communication of engagement results with stakeholders?

When the chief audit executive (CAE) concludes that management has accepted a level of risk that may be unacceptable to the organization, the CAE must discuss the matter with senior management. If the CAE determines that the matter has not been resolved, the CAE should seek the opinion from regulatory bodies.

The CAE should avoid issuing any interim reports, even for high-risk observations, prior to the issuance of the final written report to avoid leakage of sensitive information.

It is mandatory for the CAE to assess the potential risk to the organization, consult with senior management and legal counsel as appropriate, and control dissemination by restricting the use of the results prior to releasing them to parties outside of the organization if not otherwise mandated by legal, statutory, or regulatory requirements.

The board should always be given the final written internal audit reports at the conclusion of all internal audit engagements. Executive summaries should be avoided in all cases.
