Which of the following is MOST important to consider when scheduling follow-up audits?
A.
The efforts required for independent verification with new auditors
B.
The impact if corrective actions are not taken
C.
The amount of time the auditee has agreed to spend with auditors
D.
Controls and detection risks related to the observations
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The impact if corrective actions are not taken is the most important factor to consider when scheduling follow-up audits. An IS auditor should prioritize the follow-up audits based on the risk and potential consequences of not addressing the audit findings and recommendations. The other options are less important factors that may affect the timing and scope of the follow-up audits, but not their necessity or urgency. References:
