Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1435

Which of the following would be MOST time and cost efficient when performing a control self-assessment (CSA) for an organization with a large number of widely dispersed employees?

Answer options

• A. Survey questionnaire
• B. Facilitated workshops
• C. Face-to-face interviews
• D. Top-down and bottom-up analysis

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A. Survey questionnaire, allows for efficient data collection from a large number of employees across different locations without the need for extensive travel or in-person meetings. The other options, such as B. Facilitated workshops and C. Face-to-face interviews, require more time and resources to coordinate and conduct, making them less suitable for organizations with widely dispersed teams.
