Which of the following audit procedures would MOST likely be
used in an audit of a systems development project?
A. Develop test transactions
B. Use code comparison utilities
C. Develop audit software programs
D. Review functional requirements documentation
Answer / guest
Answer: D
"The most likely audit procedure in systems development is
the review of the functional requirements, since this will
indicate what the new system is supposed to provide and how.
Based on this documentation other testing may be performed
to confirm that the necessary controls and functionality are
in place. The development of test transactions also may be
performed if necessary
however, this would be to assist functional requirements
testing. The use of code comparison utilities compares two
copies of the source code to identify differences and would
normally be used for system maintenance. Audit software
programs are normally used to integrate production data,
thus it would not be appropriate for a system under
development."
