"If I was working on an audit and discovered a practice that I found questionable, I would immediately voice my concern to the Audit Manager. It's possible that I was misinterpreting the situation. If not, my manager would provide good counsel on next steps to resolve the situation. The most important thing is to be honest and ethical - two character traits that I am proud to say I possess."

I would investigate more into details, gather some evidence based on my research and investigation and discuss the issue with my supervisors and managers to gain some more insight into the suspicion. I would seek their opinion as they would be in more senior positions than me and that would also bring a learning opportunity for me.
