ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 65
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 65 of 100
Preventing duplicate data entry within the purchase management system is an IT application control. It validates a specific application's business transactions so approved data is processed completely, accurately, uniquely, and appropriately.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- organization-wide access and security management is a general control
- controls over system operations and management establish the common IT environment
- development and maintenance controls also apply broadly across applications
Key rule: Application controls validate particular business inputs, processing, and outputs; general controls support the overall IT environment.
