Following an evaluation of an organization's IT controls, an internal auditor suggested improving the process where results are compared against the input. Which of the following IT controls would the internal auditor recommend?
IIAv7 - Part 3. Processing Controls ensure data is processed as intended. Output controls ensure outputs are accurate and complete. Output controls compare the output against the input to determine if the output matches the intended result and address what is done with the data.
Processing controls ensure that data is accurately and completely processed from input to output. Since the internal auditor suggested improving the comparison of results against the input, this refers to validating that the processing was performed correctly—which is the purpose of processing controls.
Should this be B?
My understanding is the internal auditor would recommend input controls to improve the process where results are compared against the input. Input controls are measures put in place to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and validity of the data entered into a system. They help prevent data entry errors or fraudulent activities.
An example of an input control is data validation, which checks if the entered data meets predetermined criteria. This can include format checks, range checks, and reasonableness checks. By implementing strong input controls, an organization can enhance the integrity and reliability of its IT systems and the resulting output.
Anyone agree?
output control validates information being sent out of the system, responsible for the integrity and security of data outputs.
Input controls prevent users from entering unvalidated information into the system.
