CISA QUESTION #6840
Question 1
  1. Define problem
  2. Collect data
  3. Analyze data
  4. Draw conclusions
An organization's audit methodology skips directly from problem definition to conclusions without data collection or analysis. What is the PRIMARY consequence?
  • Faster audit completion
  • Conclusions lack evidentiary support and are essentially opinions rather than audit findings✔️
  • Reduced audit costs
  • Increased efficiency
Correct Answer Explanation
The scientific method and audit methodology require evidence-based conclusions. Skipping data collection and analysis means conclusions are based on assumptions or opinions rather than facts. This violates the fundamental audit principle that findings must be supported by sufficient, relevant, and reliable evidence.
