< value="15818" ="">C Employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

Palakji,

This questions is worded very poorly and I had the same reaction when I attempted the question. My interpetation of this questions is which one of the follwing persons are less likely to detect a material misstament. Look at the not in the question. I am not a 100% sure but close to it. =)
