Acquiring a nondomestic organization can provide relatively fast entry into a foreign market because the acquired company may already have customers, distribution channels, licenses, employees, supplier relationships, market knowledge, and regulatory approvals. Building these capabilities from the ground up can take significant time and involve higher uncertainty. Option B is not necessarily true because acquisitions often require major cash outflows and integration costs. Option C may occur, but cultural diversity is not usually the primary business reason for acquisition. Option D is inappropriate and risky because influencing local government policy may raise ethical, legal, and compliance concerns. Internal audit should evaluate acquisition risks such as due diligence quality, integration planning, corruption exposure, control compatibility, and valuation assumptions. The best answer is Option A.
