46 Assignment of process ownership is essential in system development projects because it:

A. enables the tracking of the development completion percentage.

B. optimizes the design cost of user acceptance test cases.

C. minimizes the gaps between requirements and functionalities.

D. ensures that system design is based on business needs. - ANSWER D is the correct answer.
Justification:

A. Process ownershipassignmentdoes not have a featureto track the completionpercentageof
de1iverables.

B. Whether the design cost of test cases will be optimized is not determined from the assignment of
process ownership. It may help to some extent; however, there are many other factors involved in the
design of test cases.

,C. For gap minimization, a specific requirements analysis framework should be in place and then applied;
however, a gap may be found between the design and the as-built system that could lead to system
functionality not meeting requirements. This will be identified during user acceptance testing. Process
ownership alone does not have the capability to minimize requirement gaps.

D. The involvement of process owners will ensure that the system will be designed according to the

needs of the business processes that depend on system functiouality. A sign-off on the design by the
process owners is crucial before development begins.

A rapid application development methodology has been selected to implement a new enterprise
resource planning system. All of the project activities have been assigned to the contracted consulting
company because internal employees are not available. What is the IS auditor's FIRST step to
compensate for the lack of resources?



A. Review the project plan and approach

B. Ask the vendor to provide additional external staff

,C. Recommend that the company hire more people

D. Stop the project until all human resources are available - ANSWER A is the correct answer.
Justification:

A. Rapid methodologies require available resources with good expertise and a fast decision-making

process because the plan duration is usually short. Reviewingthe project plan and approach is the best
recommendation to make the appropriate changes to compensate for the missing end users.

B. Adding external people to the project will not resolve the problem because they will not be able to
decide on behalf of the internal employees who are usually end users from the business side.

appropriate decisions in this project.

aspects should be done first.

C. Senior management

D. Quality assurance staff - ANSWER A is the correct answer. Justification:

A. User management assumes ownership of the project and resulting system, allocates qualified

representatives to the team and actively participates in system requirements definition, acceptance
testing and user training. User management should review and approve system deliverables as they are
defined and accomplished, or implemented.

B. . A project steering committee provides overall direction, ensures appropriate representation of the

major stakeholders in the project's outcome, reviews project progress regularly and holds emergency
meetings when required. A project steering committee is ultimately responsible for all deliverables,
project costs and schedules.

C. Senior management demonstrates commitment to the project and approves the necessary resources
to complete the project. This commitment from senior management helps ensure involvement by those
who are needed to complete the project.

D. Quality assurance staff review results and deliverables within each phase, and at the end of each
phase confirm compliance with standards and requirements. The timing of reviews depends on the

, system development life cycle, the impact of potential deviation methodology used, the structure and
magnitude of the system and the impact of potential deviation.



A3-10 An organization is replacing a payroll program that it developed in-house, with the relevant
subsystem

of a commercial enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Which of the following would represent the

HIGHEST potential risk?



A. Undocumented approval of some project changes

B. Faulty migration of historical data from the old system to the new system

C. Incomplete testing of the standard functionality of the ERP subsystem

D. Duplication of existing payroll permissions on the new.ERP subsystem - ANSWER B is the correct
answer. Justification:

integrity when migrating data from the old system to the new system.

pay employees in a timely and accurate manner or have records of past payments. As a result,
maintaining data integrity and accuracy during migration is paramount.

risk;

however,the greatestrisk is related to the migration of data from the old system to the new system
