Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1170

A current project to develop IT-based solutions will need additional funding to meet changes in business requirements. Who is BEST suited to obtain this additional funding?

Answer options

• A. Board of directors
• B. Project manager
• C. Project sponsor
• D. IT strategy committee

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Project Sponsor is typically the individual responsible for securing additional funding as they have the authority and influence to advocate for the project's financial needs. The Project Manager focuses on execution and may not have the same level of authority to obtain funding. The Board of Directors and IT Strategy Committee are more strategic entities and may not be directly involved in funding acquisition for specific projects.
