Which of the following tests is an IS auditor performing when a sample of programs is selected to determine if the source and object versions are the same?
A.
A substantive test of program library controls
B.
A compliance test of program library controls
C.
A compliance test of the program compiler controls
D.
A substantive test of the program compiler controls
Compliance tests ensure that processes, controls, and procedures comply with organizational policies or regulatory requirements.
Why This is Correct:
Testing the source and object code versions verifies compliance with program library controls to ensure integrity.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. Substantive test: Focuses on data accuracy, not compliance.
C and D: Focus on compiler controls, not library controls.
References:
EC-Council emphasizes the role of compliance tests in verifying adherence to security and operational policies in program libraries.
