Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 852

Which of the following provides the BEST overview of an organization's audit universe when developing a long-term audit plan?

Answer options

• A. IT strategy
• B. Risk register
• C. Logical data architecture
• D. Enterprise architecture (EA)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Enterprise architecture (EA) provides a holistic view of the organization's structure and processes, which is essential for understanding the audit universe. Options A, B, and C are narrower in focus and do not encompass the entire audit landscape necessary for effective long-term planning.
