The thorough periodic reviews that encompass all services and assets within a facility.

• A. Facilities register
• B. Facility Management
• C. Facilities audit
• D. Environmental scanning

Answer: (C)

A facilities audit is a formal, methodical examination of everything inside a facility—the services, the assets, and the processes that support them—conducted on a regular schedule. Its purpose is to verify condition, ensure compliance with safety and maintenance standards, assess performance, and identify risks and opportunities for improvement. This makes it the best fit for describing thorough periodic reviews that encompass all services and assets within a facility.

The other ideas don’t fit as well. A facilities register is only an inventory of what exists, not a comprehensive, ongoing evaluation. Facility management refers to the broad function of planning, operating, and maintaining facilities, not the formal audit process. Environmental scanning looks outward, at external factors affecting the organization, rather than auditing internal facilities.
