令和4年度 ITパスポート試験 問53
This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 53
Incorrectア
The combination a, b, c. b and c are correct, but it is wrong because it includes a, EA (Enterprise Architecture). EA is a design and management framework for organizing and optimizing the overall picture of an organization's business and systems; it is not an investigation method for collecting audit evidence.
Incorrectイ
The combination a, b, d. b and d are correct, but it is wrong because it includes a (use of EA), which is not an investigation method, and omits c (reviewing materials and documents), which is an investigation method.
Incorrectウ
The combination a, c, d. c and d are correct, but it is wrong because it includes a (use of EA), which is not an investigation method, and omits b (computer-assisted audit techniques), which is an investigation method.
- エ
正解 The investigation methods that a systems auditor uses in preliminary and main investigations refer to concrete ways of gathering information in order to collect audit evidence. b, computer-assisted audit techniques (CAAT), is a representative audit method that directly verifies data and logs with tools, so it is appropriate. c, reviewing materials and documents, is a basic audit method for grasping the situation from regulations, forms, system design documents, and the like, so it is appropriate. d, hearings (asking questions of the people involved), is also a standard audit method for confirming actual conditions and operational status, so it is appropriate. Therefore, listing only the appropriate items gives b, c, d, and the correct answer is エ.
- Representative investigation methods in a systems audit include hearings, reviewing materials/documents, and computer-assisted audit techniques (CAAT); all of them are ways of gathering information to obtain audit evidence.
- EA (Enterprise Architecture) is a management approach for systematically designing/optimizing an organization's overall business and systems; distinguish that it does not qualify as an audit investigation method.
