Selected Answer: C
Notifying the audit committee (option A) is important, but it is typically done after the immediate risk mitigation steps have been taken. The audit committee may need to be informed about the vulnerability, its impact, and the actions taken or planned to address it.

I also think its C. As an auditor we would identify the compensating controls, if any, before notifying the audit committee.

Selected Answer: A
A is the correct answer,By notifying the appropriate personnel, they can take immediate action to remediate the vulnerability and prevent any potential damage to the organization and its customers. Once the vulnerability has been addressed, the auditor can then review security incident reports (option B) and identify compensating controls (option C) as part of the audit process. Documenting the exception in an audit report (option D) would be appropriate after the vulnerability has been addressed and the audit is complete
