Let \(H\) be a cocommutative algebra \(H\) in a symmetric closed category \({\mathcal C}\) and denote by \(\text{Gal}_{\mathcal C}(H)\) the group of equivalence classes of \(H\)-Galois objects in \({\mathcal C}\). There is an obvious map \(h:\text{Gal}_{\mathcal C}(H) \to\text{Pic}(H^*)\), where \(\text{Pic} (H^*)\) is the Picard group of \(H^*\), consisting of isomorphism classes of invertible \(H^*\)-modules. The authors prove this map to actually be a group isomorphism, thus generalizing a well known result of Child's. It is also shown that whenever \(\text{Pic}(H^*)\) is trivial, then \(BM_{inn} ({\mathcal C},H) \cong BM( {\mathcal C},H)\), where the latter Brauer group consists of equivalence classes of left \(H\)-module Azumaya monoids in \({\mathcal C}\) and the former, introduced by the second author, is its subgroup consisting of equivalence classes which may be represented by an Azumaya monoid with inner action.
