ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 63
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 63 of 100
The head of the System Operations Department is responsible for correcting deteriorated UPS batteries managed by that department. The auditor independently identifies and reports the weakness, while management of the audited operation owns the control and must plan and implement remediation.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- system development is not responsible for maintaining operational power equipment
- the auditor should preserve independence and follow up rather than perform the correction
- purchasing may assist procurement, but the operational owner remains accountable for the equipment's condition
Key rule: Auditors evaluate and recommend; the manager responsible for the audited activity owns corrective action.
