Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 442

Which of the following is MOST important for an IS auditor to determine during the detailed design phase of a system development project?

Answer options

• A. Acceptance test criteria have been developed.
• B. Data conversion procedures have been established.
• C. The design has been approved by senior management.
• D. Program coding standards have been followed.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most crucial element for an IS auditor in this phase is the development of acceptance test criteria, as it ensures that the system can be validated against requirements. While data conversion procedures, design approvals, and coding standards are important, they do not directly assess the system's readiness for testing and user acceptance.
