Exam CISA topic 1 question 44 discussion

Data architecture is a framework that describes how data is collected, stored, managed, and utilized within an organization. It serves as a blueprint for data management systems, ensuring that data flows efficiently from collection to transformation, distribution, and consumption

System/process flowchart

A flowchart wll provide better detail than source code documentation. An auditor isn't going to always be well versed in code and able to read it, so source code documentation can be near worthless. The flowchart if made properly, provides any of the necessary data that would be found in the source code, and provides and overview of the process and flow of data, which source code documentation does not, unless you're aready intimately familiar with it and know where the pieces are.

Charts and documentation will not cover the whole picture. Source coding will be more in depth and no missing aspects will be exists.

Answer: C

flow chart

System/process flowcharts depict the order of activities, interactions, and data movement. They provide valuable insights into the transaction flow and can help identify critical points for audit purposes. Therefore, this option is relevant to the audit trail.

Most info can be gathered from code documantation. like what all data will be logged

D. Source code documentation Among the options listed, source code documentation would provide the most detailed and direct information about the transaction audit trail in an online application. It would reveal the logic and code implementation related to recording and tracking transactions, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of how the audit trail is generated, maintained, and used within the application.
