Selected Answer: C
Option D, "Assess the operational risks associated with the call center," is also important, but risk assessment is usually considered a process that takes place after a control check. By checking controls first, the accuracy and effectiveness of risk assessment will be improved.

Selected Answer: C
Before gathering information from customers or conducting technical tests, it's important for the auditor to have a clear understanding of the internal controls that are in place. This includes both manual and automated controls that govern the operations of the call center. By reviewing these controls first, the auditor can identify potential weaknesses, gaps, or areas of concern that may need further investigation or testing.
