ACIS 5654 Final Exam Questions And Answers
Latest Update
Continuous Auditing ANS✔✔ provides real-time assurance over business
processes. This provides increased coverage and timeliness of audit
procedures
Continuous Monitoring ANS✔✔ evaluates controls and transactions and is
primarily used by management to show effectiveness of internal controls
Continuous Reporting ANS✔✔ provides the status of the audit procedures

face information overload, which could distract them from adequately
evaluating the system.

the right things)
