This situation represents an audit finding, making option A the correct answer. An audit finding is the result of evaluating audit evidence against audit criteria and identifying conformity, nonconformity, or opportunities for improvement. In this case, the auditor evaluated training records and discovered that two employees did not receive adequate information security training, which is a deviation from ISO/IEC 27001 training and awareness requirements.
Audit evidence consists of the records, interviews, or observations used to support findings. The training records themselves are evidence, not the finding. Information sources are where evidence originates, such as documents, personnel, or systems, but they are not the conclusion drawn by the auditor.
Option B is incorrect because the lack of training is not evidence; it is the conclusion derived from evaluating evidence. Option C is incorrect because employees or records may be information sources, but the situation described is the auditor’s evaluative conclusion.
ISO 19011 emphasizes that audit findings must be based on objective evidence and clearly documented. Therefore, identifying that some employees lacked adequate training constitutes an audit finding.
