Answer: C
The IS steering committee typically serves as a general
review board for major IS projects and should not become
involved in routine operations, therefore, one of its
functions is to approve and monitor major projects, the
status of IS plans and budgets. Vendor change control is an
outsourcing issue and should be monitored by IS management.
Ensuring a separation of duties within the information's
processing environment is an IS management responsibility.
Liaison between the IS department and the end users is a
function of the individual parties and not a committee.
