ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 Question 60
ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 — Question 60 of 80
A system audit evaluates whether proper controls exist for data input, processing, storage, and access within information systems.
(a) describes methods ensuring accuracy when the sales department inputs and updates a database — this is a textbook example of an IT internal control subject to system audit.
Why not others:
- (b) Mid-term business plan creation — strategic planning, not an IT control
- (c) Employee personnel evaluations — HR process, unrelated to IT systems
- (d) Production equipment review for defect reduction — manufacturing quality control, not IT audit
Key rule: System audits target controls over data handling in IT systems — input validation, access rights, processing accuracy, and data integrity.
