    • People

    • Process

    • Technology

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Process
    Explanation
    An internal auditor typically spends most of his time auditing processes. This is because processes are a crucial aspect of any organization's operations and have a significant impact on its overall efficiency and effectiveness. By auditing processes, the internal auditor can identify any weaknesses, inefficiencies, or non-compliance issues that may exist, and make recommendations for improvement. This helps the organization to streamline its operations, reduce risks, and ensure that it is operating in accordance with relevant regulations and standards.
