Who would provide an IS auditor with the MOST helpful input during an interview to determine whether business requirements for an application were met?
User management is the most appropriate choice because they have direct involvement in the day-to-day operations and usage of the application. They possess detailed knowledge of the specific needs and requirements of the business users and can provide valuable insights into whether the application meets these needs. User management's active participation in business process redesign, system requirements definition, test case development, acceptance testing, and user training uniquely positions them to evaluate if business requirements have been met.
Answer: A User management—Assumes ownership of the project and resulting system; allocates qualified representatives to the team; and actively participates in business process redesign, system requirements definition, test case development, acceptance testing and user training. User management should review and approve system deliverables as they are defined and implemented. Project sponsor—Provides funding for the project and works closely with the project manager to define the critical success factors (CSFs) and metrics for measuring the success of the project. Data and application ownership are assigned to a project sponsor. A project sponsor is typically the senior manager in charge of the primary business unit the application will support.

B. Project sponsors Project sponsors would provide the IS (Information Systems) auditor with the MOST helpful input during an interview to determine whether business requirements for an application were met. Project sponsors are typically individuals or groups within an organization who initiate and fund projects, including application development projects. They are often the ones who define the initial business requirements and objectives for the application. As such, they have a deep understanding of the intended goals and outcomes of the project. Therefore, their input is critical for assessing whether those business requirements have been met and if the project has delivered the expected value to the organization.

It is the user management who knows the business requirements best.
While senior management (Option C) may provide high-level strategic input and perspective on the overall alignment of the application with business objectives, they may not possess the detailed operational insights necessary to assess whether specific business requirements were met at a functional level. Therefore, user management is typically the group that can offer the most helpful input to an IS auditor in this context.
