Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

When evaluating whether the expected benefits of a project have been achieved, it is most important to review post-implementation issues. These issues provide insight into whether the project has met its intended objectives and delivered the expected benefits. While the business case outlines the initial expectations and goals of the project, it is the post-implementation review that can verify if these benefits were actually realized and identify any deviations or unexpected challenges that occurred during implementation. Therefore, focusing on post-implementation issues is crucial for accurately assessing the project's success in achieving its benefits.

Quality assurance results are like IT checklists can be incorrect, maybe they are generic or unrelated. As IS auditor we need to understand business case first and validate QA results are correct or maybe develop our own checklist or test cases.

I suppose post implementation review verifies if the benefits stated in the business case were achieved. Review of business case is one of the key activities during PIR to show that project's benefits are achieved. So I think the examiner is right.

Needs to be C. During the post-implementation review, cost-benefit analysis and ROI should be performed to verify that the original business case benefits are delivered

The most critical aspect for an IS auditor to review when evaluating whether the expected benefits of a project have been achieved is the business case (option D). The business case outlines the rationale for the project, including its expected benefits, costs, and risks. By comparing the actual outcomes against the projected benefits laid out in the business case, the IS auditor can effectively assess the success of the project. While post-implementation issues (option C) are important to address, they are typically considered in conjunction with the business case evaluation to determine if any deviations or unexpected challenges impacted the project's outcomes.
