Answer: D
During the requirements phase the IS auditor should verify
the detailed requirements definition document. The IS
auditor would identify and determine the criticality of the
need and verify all cost justifications/benefits during the
feasibility phase. The assessment of the adequacy of audit
trails would take place during the detailed design and
programming phase.
