Option B, which pertains to the undocumented code formatting data and transmitting it to the database, is the auditor's GREATEST concern because it directly impacts the accuracy and integrity of the financial data being entered into the core finance system. Without proper documentation and validation, there's a higher risk of errors and data manipulation going undetected.
The greatest concern when reviewing data inputs from spreadsheets into the core finance system is that undocumented code formats data and transmits directly to the database. This raises significant risks related to data accuracy, integrity, and the potential for unauthorized or unintended modifications to the core finance system.
Undocumented code that formats data and transmits directly to the database poses a significant risk of errors, manipulation, and potential data corruption. It is crucial for auditors to ensure proper documentation, controls, and oversight are in place to mitigate these risks.
