Inherent risk - correct answer ✔✔the risk that an error could occur assuming no compensating control
exist
Control risk - correct answer ✔✔the risk that an error exists that would not be prevented by internal
controls
Detection risk - correct answer ✔✔the risk that an error exists, but is not detected. The risk that an IS
auditor may use an inadequate test procedure and conclude that no material error exists when in fact
errors do exist.
Audit risk - correct answer ✔✔the overall level of risk; the level of risk the auditor is prepared to accept.
Compliance testing - correct answer ✔✔determines if controls are being applied in a manner that
complies with mgmt's policies and procedures
Substantive testing - correct answer ✔✔evaluates the integrity of individual transactions, data, and
other information.
Regression testing - correct answer ✔✔used to retest earlier program abends that occurred during the
initial testing phase.
,Sociability testing - correct answer ✔✔to ensure the application works as expected in the specified
environment where other applications run concurrently. Includes testing of interfaces with other
systems.
Parallel testing - correct answer ✔✔Feeding test data into two systems and comparing the results.
White box testing - correct answer ✔✔test the software's program logic.
Black box testing - correct answer ✔✔Testing the functional operating effectiveness without regard to
internal program structure.
Redundancy check - correct answer ✔✔detects transmission errors by appending calculated bits onto
the end of each segment of data.
Variable sampling - correct answer ✔✔used to estimate the average or total value of a population.
Discovery sampling - correct answer ✔✔used to determine the probability of finding an attribute in a
population.
Attribute sampling - correct answer ✔✔selecting items from a population based on a common attribute.
Used for compliance testing.
Chapter 2 - correct answer ✔✔
Steering Committee - correct answer ✔✔Appointed by senior management. Serves as a general review
board for projects and acquisitions... not involved in routine operations. The committee should include

requirements and policies which are derived and implemented as a result of a risk assessment.
Chapter 3 - correct answer ✔✔
OSI Model - correct answer ✔✔All People Seem To Need Dominos Pizza
Layer 7 - Application layer - correct answer ✔✔The application layer interfaces directly to and performs
common application services for the application processes.
Layer 6 - Presentation layer - correct answer ✔✔The presentation layer relieves the Application layer of
concern regarding syntactical differences in data representation within the end-user systems. MIME
encoding, data compression, encryption, and similar manipulation of the presentation of data is done at
this layer.
Layer 5 - Session layer - correct answer ✔✔The session layer provides the mechanism for managing the
dialogue between end-user application processes (By dialog we mean that whose turn is it to transmit).
It provides for either duplex or half-duplex operation. This layer is responsible for setting up and tearing
down TCP/IP sessions.
Layer 4 - Transport layer - correct answer ✔✔The transport layer is responsible for reliable data delivery.
The transport layer provides transparent transfer of data between end users, thus relieving the upper
layers from any concern with providing reliable and cost-effective data transfer. The transport layer
controls the reliability of a given link. The transport layer can keep track of packets and retransmit those
that fail. Also addresses packet sequencing. The best known example of a layer 4 protocol is TCP.
Layer 3 - Network layer - correct answer ✔✔The network layer provides the functional and procedural
means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination via one or more
networks while maintaining the quality of service requested by the Transport layer. The Network layer
