It is A. A. Provide guidance regarding control objectives to staff involved in the CSA. This would be the most suitable next action, as the auditor should focus on helping the finance department staff understand the control objectives and improve their own testing and documentation of controls as part of the CSA process.

Selected Answer: D
Given that the IS auditor has identified that some controls in the finance department were not properly tested and documented during control self-assessment (CSA) activities, the immediate next step should be to perform additional testing. This is necessary to ensure that these controls are adequately assessed and documented, which is essential for providing reliable assurance through the CSA process.

The role of an IS Auditor during CSA is that of a facilitator. He can only guide or educate but not perform.
