CISA Exam - Question 4


Which of the following is the MOST effective way for an organization to help ensure agreed-upon action plans from an IS audit will be implemented?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The most effective way to ensure agreed-upon action plans from an IS audit will be implemented is to ensure ownership is assigned. Assigning ownership creates accountability, making it clear who is responsible for following through on the action plans. This accountability helps drive the implementation process and ensures that there is a specific person or team who will be held responsible for completing the necessary actions. Testing corrective actions or communicating audit results are important steps, but they are secondary to ensuring that someone is accountable for the implementation of the actions.

B Wants to test the corrective action that has been applied whereas A wants to ensure that corrective action will be done. So, B can only happen if corrective action has been taken.
