Which option is NOT a listed consequence or recommendation?

• A. Communicate policy to staff.
• B. Train staff.
• C. Monitor procedures to ensure compliance.
• D. Introduce new inventory counting procedures.

Answer: (D)

The situation focuses on actions that ensure staff understand and comply with policy. Communicating the policy to staff directly raises awareness so everyone knows what's required. Training staff builds the skills and knowledge to follow the policy correctly. Monitoring procedures to ensure compliance provides ongoing oversight and feedback, helping detect and correct lapses. Introducing new inventory counting procedures, while important as a potential control improvement, is a change to how counting is performed rather than a direct consequence of a non-compliance issue or a stated recommendation to ensure awareness and ongoing adherence. It’s more about redesigning the process than about informing, educating, or supervising staff, so it isn’t considered a listed consequence or recommendation in this context.
