Answer: C
The use of unauthorized or illegal software should be
prohibited by an organization. Software piracy results in
inherent exposure and can result in severe fines. The IS
auditor must convince the user and user management of the
risk and the need to eliminate the risk. An IS auditor
should not assume the role of the enforcing officer and take
on any personal involvement in removing or deleting the
unauthorized software.
