Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 160

Audit frameworks can assist the IS audit function by:

Answer options

• A. outlining the specific steps needed to complete audits.
• B. defining the authority and responsibility of the IS audit function.
• C. providing details on how to execute the audit program.
• D. providing direction and information regarding the performance of audits.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because audit frameworks provide comprehensive guidance on how audits should be carried out, ensuring consistency and effectiveness. Options A, B, and C, while relevant to aspects of auditing, do not encompass the broader support that frameworks provide in terms of overall direction and information for audit performance.
