Answer: The correct answer is

A: Decide the extent of necessary followup work.

Explanation: It is the responsibility of the Chief Audit Executive to decide the follow up process to be done.

The nature, timing and extent of follow up is communicated by the Chief Audit Executive and he also has the responsibility to find out from management why actions have not been taken.
