ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 64

Source exam: ITPEC IP October 2022Topic: System Audit

ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 64 of 100

A system auditor contributes from an independent, professional standpoint by performing evaluation. The auditor objectively examines whether controls for information-system risks are appropriately designed and operating effectively, then reports findings and recommendations that support IT governance. Management remains responsible for implementing controls.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- belonging to the responsible department would impair independence

- an auditor evaluates controls rather than taking management's role in implementing them

Key rule: System auditing requires organizational independence and professional judgment; its central function is objective evaluation, not operational execution.
