Question 73

A chief audit executive (CAE) suspects that several employees have used desktop computers for personal gain. In conducting an investigation, the primary reason that the CAE would choose to engage a forensic information systems auditor rather than using the organization's information systems auditor is that a forensic information systems auditor would possess:

    Correct Answer: B

    A forensic information systems auditor is specifically trained to understand what constitutes evidence that is acceptable in a court of law. This expertise is crucial in investigations where the findings may need to be presented in legal settings. While the organization's information systems auditor may have general knowledge of the computing systems and be capable of identifying misuse, a forensic expert ensures that the evidence is gathered, handled, and documented correctly for legal purposes. This makes option B the most appropriate choice.

Discussion
