Answer: A
The IS auditor should identify compensating controls such as
strong computer security, reviewing access control logs,
end-user reconciliation of control reports and control
information in transaction reports, where adequate
segregation of duties is not achievable. Administrative
controls deal with operational effectiveness, efficiency and
adherence to management policies. Corrective controls are
designed to correct errors, omissions and unauthorized uses
and intrusions once they are detected. Access control is the
process that limits and controls access to resources of a
computer system.
