Answer: B
Asking programmers about the procedures currently being
followed is useful in determining whether access to program
documentation is restricted to authorized persons.
Evaluating the record retention plans for off-premises
storage tests recovery procedures, not access control over
program documentation. Testing utilization records or data
files will not address access security over program
documentation.
