A programmer has made unauthorized changes to key fields in a payroll system report. Which of the following control weaknesses would have contributed MOST to this problem?
A.
The programmer has access to the production programs.
B.
The user requirements were not documented.
C.
Payroll files were not under the control of a librarian.
D.
The programmer did not involve the user in testing.
If the programmer has unrestricted access to production programs, it increases the risk of unauthorized modifications or tampering with critical system components. Proper access controls and segregation of duties are essential to prevent individuals from making unauthorized changes to production systems.
