解説

問 40

  • Incorrectア

    This choice assigns a to the operational audit, but a is the description of a financial audit that evaluates the appropriate presentation of financial statements, not an operational audit. It also assigns b to the information security audit, but b is the description of a systems audit that evaluates the controls over the information system, not an information security audit. The correspondences are misaligned.

  • Incorrectイ

    It assigns b to the operational audit (b is the description of a systems audit), a to the systems audit (a is the description of a financial audit), and d to the information security audit (d is the description of an operational audit); all three correspondences are wrong.

  • Incorrectウ

    It assigns c to the operational audit (c is the description of an information security audit), d to the systems audit (d is the description of an operational audit), and a to the information security audit (a is the description of a financial audit); none of them match the correct correspondence.

  • エ

    正解 The correct answer is エ. Match each description to the purpose of the three types of audit. An operational audit “evaluates the execution status of all operations other than accounting operations, such as the organization's manufacturing and sales,” which corresponds to description d. A systems audit “evaluates whether the controls over the risks related to the information system are appropriately established and operated based on risk assessment,” which corresponds to description b. An information security audit “evaluates the establishment and operational status of appropriate controls so that the management of risks related to information security is carried out effectively,” which corresponds to description c. Therefore the combination is operational audit: d, systems audit: b, information security audit: c, so エ is correct. Note that description a “evaluates whether the financial statements appropriately present the organization's assets and profit-and-loss situation,” which is the purpose of a financial audit and is a dummy not included in the three categories (operational, systems, and information security audit) given in the question.

ここがポイント
  • Distinguish the purpose of each type of audit. Operational audit = execution status of all operations other than accounting; systems audit = establishment and operation of controls over risks related to the information system; information security audit = evaluation of the risk management of information security.
  • Recognize that description a (evaluating the appropriate presentation of financial statements) is the purpose of a financial audit and is a dummy not included in the three categories listed in the question.
