CISA InFo Domain 1 Questions Guaranteed Solutions


C. Mode

Mode identifies the number of times a particular number is duplicated more than once. For example, in
the following list of numbers, find the mode: 01483873263. The mode is 3. ✔️ In sampling, which of
the following is a measure of central tendency?

A. Variance

B. Range

C. Mode

D. Standard Deviation



A. Ability, as an IS auditor to be independent of existing IS relationships.

Independence should be continually assessed by the auditor and management. This assessment should
consider such factors as changes in personal relationships, financial interest, and prior job assignments
and responsibilities. The fact that the employee has worked in IS for many years may not in itself ensure
credibility. The audit department's needs should be defined, and any candidate should be evaluated
against those requirements. In addition, the length of service will not ensure technical competency, and
evaluating an individual's qualifications based on the age of the individual is not a good criterion and is
illegal in many parts of the world. ✔️ A long-term IS employee with a strong technical background and
broad managerial experience has applied for a vacant position in the IS audit department. Determine
whether to hire this individual for this position should be based on the individual's experience and:

A. Ability as an IS auditor to be independent of existing IS relationships.

B. Age as training in audit techniques may be impractical.

C. The length of service, since this will help ensure technical competence.

D. IS knowledge, since this will enhance credibility to the audit function.



D. Balancing of daily controls.

Because balancing of daily control totals relates to specific applications and is not considered an overall
general control concern. Answer A is NOT the best answer since documentation procedures within the
IS department are an important general control concern. Answer B is not the best answer since the
organization of the IS Department is an important general control concern. Answer C is NOT the best
answer since physical access controls and security measures are important general control concerns.
✔️ Each of the following is a general control concern EXCEPT:

, A. Documentation procedures within the IS Department.

B. Physical access controls and security measures.

C. Organization of the IS Department.

D. Balancing of daily control totals.



B. Audit hooks

The audit hook technique involves embedding code in application systems for the examination of
selected transactions. This helps the IS auditor to act before an error or an irregularity gets out of hand.
An embedded audit module involves embedding specially written software in the organization's host
application system so that application systems are monitored on a selective basis. An integrated test
facility is used when it is not practical to use test data, and snapshots are used when an audit trail is
required. ✔️ Which of the following online auditing techniques is most effective for the early detection
of errors or irregularities?

A. Embedded audit module

B. Audit Hooks

C. Integrated test facility

D. Snapshots



B. IS management makes little real use of this system facility; control in this area is probably weak.

The system log from any moderately used computer will be abundant and labor-intensive to interpret at
a meaningful level. It could be reasonable to assume and easy to verify that management "makes little
real use of this system." It would be prudent of the IS Auditor to recommend the development of
programs to summarize and provide management with meaningful reports. ✔️ In a review of the IS
resource management function, the IS auditor finds that no computer routines were developed or
acquired to read and take extracts from the mainframe system's job accounting software facility.
Instead, the complete log record of system activity is printed out on a daily basis and distributed to
several responsible managers in the IS Department. The most reasonable interpretation of this situation
by the IS Auditor is that:

A. Management's review of systems activity is unusually thorough; control in this area is probably
strong.

B. IS management makes little real use of this system facility; control in this area is probably weak.

C. IS management is probably concerned over the high cost of developing or acquiring programs of this
type.

D. Operations management has decided to take this approach in the interest of maximizing systems
efficiency.
