ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 63
ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 63 of 100
A systems audit evaluates and helps control information-system risks so systems function safely, effectively, and efficiently. An independent and objective examination assesses controls, reliability, security, compliance, and whether IT supports organizational objectives.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- performing backups is an operational control, not the audit's overall purpose
- improving developer skills is personnel development
- investigating user needs and documenting requirements is system planning
Key rule: A systems audit examines evidence and controls, reports findings, and recommends improvements; it does not operate or develop the system itself.
