Answer: A
Compliance tests determine if controls are being applied in
accordance with management policies and procedures. In this
case, verifying that only active associates are present
provides reasonable assurance that a control is in place and
can be relied upon. Choice B, substantive tests, relates to
quantitative reviews, such as balances and transactions and
their accuracy. Choice C does not relate since all current
user records were verified, while choice D is part of a
risk-based audit approach.
