During an implementation review of a multiuser distributed
application, the IS auditor finds minor weaknesses in three
areas-the initial setting of parameters is improperly
installed, weak passwords are being used and some vital
reports are not being checked properly. While preparing the
audit report, the IS auditor should:
A. record the observations separately with the impact of
each of them marked against each respective finding.
B. advise the manager of probable risks without recording
the observations, as the control weaknesses are minor ones.
C. record the observations and the risk arising from the
collective weaknesses.
D. apprise the departmental heads concerned with each
observation and properly document it in the report.

Answer: C
The weaknesses individually are minor, however together they
have the potential to substantially weaken the overall
control structure. Choices A and D reflect a failure on the
part of the IS auditor to recognize the combined affect of
the control weakness. Advising the local manager without
reporting the facts and observations would conceal the
findings from other stakeholders.
