Answer: A
EDI promotes a more efficient paperless environment, but at
the same time, less human intervention makes it more
difficult for reviewing and authorizing. Choice B is
incorrect since the interaction between parties is
electronic there is no inherent authentication occurring.
Computerized data can look the same no matter what the
source and does not include any distinguishing human element
or signature. Choice C is incorrect because this is a
security risk associated with EDI. Choice D is incorrect
because there are relatively few, if any, additional data
center controls associated with the implementation of EDI
applications. Instead, more control will need to be
exercised by the user's application system to replace manual
controls, such as site reviews of documents. More emphasis
will need to be placed on control over data transmission
(network management controls).
