Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 600

Which of the following demonstrates the use of data analytics for a loan origination process?

Answer options

• A. Evaluating whether loan records are included in the batch file and are validated by the servicing system.
• B. Validating whether reconciliations between the two systems are performed and discrepancies are investigated.
• C. Comparing a population of loans input in the origination system to loans booked on the servicing system.
• D. Reviewing error handling controls to notify appropriate personnel in the event of a transmission failure.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it involves comparing data from two different systems, which is a key aspect of data analytics. The other options focus on validation and error handling processes that do not directly utilize data analytics to compare or analyze loan data across systems.
