Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 48

Reviewing project plans and status reports throughout the development life cycle will:

Answer options

• A. eliminate the need to perform a risk assessment.
• B. postpone documenting the project's progress until the final phase.
• C. guarantee that the project will meet its intended deliverables.
• D. facilitate the optimal use of resources over the life of the project.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because regular reviews help in resource allocation and management, ensuring they are used effectively. Option A is incorrect as risk assessments are still necessary regardless of project reviews. Option B is wrong because documenting progress should occur throughout the project, not just at the end. Option C is not guaranteed since reviews do not ensure deliverables are met, but they do help track progress.
