server

c. A network topography diagram of the Active Directory forest

d. Integrated auditing combines the financial audit function and the IS audit

function

✓ :~~ B. Integrated auditing is a methodology that combines the operational

audit function, the financial audit function, and the IS audit function.

Therefore, Answers C and D are incorrect because they do not list all three

types of functions to be integrated. Answer A is incorrect because it

describes control self-assessment (CSA), which is used to verify the

reliability of internal controls and places internal controls in the hands of

management

obtained during an audit?

a. Locked department safe behind card access doors

d. Locked cabinet on the department floor with only one key, in the possession of

the auditor

✓ :~~ D. The best choice would be a locked cabinet on the department floor

with only one key, in the possession of the auditor. With only one key in the

auditor's possession, there is clear accountability, and access is limited to

one person. Answer A is incorrect because multiple individuals may still

have access to the safe. Answer B is incorrect because it would call into

question the security of the home and the ability to restrict access to family

members. Answer C is incorrect because third-party access cannot be

verified in a third-party site, given the way the facts were presented.




Which of the following best describes risk that can be caused by the failure of

internal controls and can result in a material error?

a. Residual risk

b. Inherent risk

c. Detection risk

d. Control risk

✓ :~~ D. A control risk is risk caused by failure of internal controls; it can

result in a material error. Answer A is incorrect because residual risk is the

amount of risk the organization is willing to accept. Answer B is incorrect

because inherent risk is the risk that can occur because of the lack of

compensating controls. Combined, inherent risks can create a material risk.

Answer C is incorrect because detection risk is the risk if an auditor does not

design tests in such a way as to detect a material risk

during an audit?

a. Attend board meetings

b. Examine and review actual procedures and processes

✓ :~~ A. Attending board meetings is not one of the best ways to gather

observing employee activity, examining and reviewing procedures and

processes, verifying employee security awareness training and knowledge,

and examining reporting relationships to verify segregation of duties.




Which of the following is not an advantage of control self-assessment (CSA)?

a. CSA helps provide early detection of risks.

b. CSA is an audit function replacement.

c. CSA reduces control costs.
