Answer: D
It is important that IS auditors raise control concerns as
early as possible. Frequently, the requirement for controls
is not clearly specific when developing the functional
specifications. The IS auditor should ensure that the
business areas specify their requirement for control at that
stage. The construction phase of the project is often too
late for the identification of the controls, since this may
require that changes be made in the design. Controls should
be designed in at the system design stage, but the types of
controls should have been identified as part of the
functional specification. The acceptance testing stage is
too late to identify controls, since this can require major
changes to the system.
