A new appplication software package is being evaluated for purchase. When is it the most effective time for an IT auditor to review the control specifications for the potential purchase?
Testing and prior to user acceptance.
The internal lab testing phase.
The requirements gathering process.
The feasibility phase.
The best time for the involvement of an IS auditor is at the beginning of the requirements definition of the development or acquisition of applications software. This provides maximum opportunity for review of the vendors and their products. Later engagement (such as during testing or acceptance phases) may result in resource constraints which could prevent complete assessment. Early engagement of an IS auditor also minimizes the potential of a business commitment to a given solution which might be more difficult to overcome as the process continues. However, assessing controls at the feasibility phase may be premature.
