To identify the value of inventory that has been kept for
more than eight weeks, an IS auditor would MOST likely use:

A. test data.

B. statistical sampling.

C. an integrated test facility.

D. generalized audit software.

Answer Posted / guest

Answer: D

Generalized audit software will facilitate reviewing the
entire inventory file to look for those items that meet the
selection criteria. Generalized audit software provides
direct access to data and provides for features of
computation, stratification, etc. Test data are used to
verify programs, but will not confirm anything about the
transactions in question. The use of statistical sampling
methods are not intended to select specific conditions, but
are to select on a random basis from a file. In this case
the IS auditor would want to check all of the items that
meet the criteria and not just a sample of them. An
integrated test facility allows the IS auditor to test
transactions through the production system.
