During the planning stage of a compliance audit, an IS auditor discovers that a bank's inventory of compliance requirements does not include recent regulatory changes related to managing data risk. What should the auditor do FIRST?
A.
Ask management why the regulatory changes have not been included.
B.
Report the missing regulatory updates to the chief information officer (CIO).
C.
Discuss potential regulatory issues with the legal department.
D.
Exclude recent regulatory changes from the audit scope.
Based on the findings from the discussion with management, the auditor can then escalate the issue to the CIO or other relevant stakeholders if necessary. sking management why the recent regulatory changes have not been included in the inventory helps to understand the root cause of the omission. This step is crucial for identifying whether there was a lapse in the process, oversight, or other issues that need to be addressed.
the auditor's first step should be to report the missing regulatory updates to the CIO. The CIO is responsible for managing the bank's information technology (IT) systems and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Reporting the missing regulatory updates to the CIO will ensure that the bank's management is aware of the compliance gap and can take corrective action.
this is not correct. There are steps in between before you report to CIO. U need to disuss the findings with management before you report to the board. .
asking management why the regulatory changes have not been included, may not be the most appropriate first step. It is possible that management may not have been aware of the regulatory changes or may have considered them to be insignificant. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to report the missing regulatory updates to the CIO, who is responsible for managing the bank's IT systems.
CIO may not be directly involved. Better to ask the larger group of management first before escalation when you may have no reason to escalate in the first place.
Asking management why the regulatory changes have not been included may provide some additional information, but it should be done after reporting the missing regulatory updates to the CIO.
