An internal auditor interviews for a position within the organization’s IT department while simultaneously conducting an audit of the area’s ability to manage the organization’s user network accounts. This presents a conflict of which of the following principles?

  1. Confidentiality.
  2. Objectivity.
  3. Competency.
  4. Integrity.

Answer(s): B

Which of the following will help the chief audit executive (CAE) of a large organization ensure that the independence of the internal audit function is maintained?

  1. The board is required to approve the salary package for all audit staff.
  2. The internal audit charter is approved by the CAE.
  3. The internal audit budget and resource plan are approved by the board.
  4. The decision regarding the appointment or termination of the CAE belongs to the CEO.

Answer(s): C

Board approval of the internal audit budget and resource plan helps safeguard independence by ensuring that internal audit has sufficient resources and is not subject to undue influence from management. Oversight by the board strengthens organizational independence and supports the function’s ability to perform its responsibilities objectively.



Which of the following statements is true regarding organizationwide risk management?

  1. Risk management is a function centralized at the top-level of management.
  2. Risk management centers on inventorying the applicable risks to the organization.
  3. Risk management is complementary to the system of internal controls.
  4. Risk management centers on governance and culture.

Answer(s): C

Together, they support effective governance and achievement of organizational objectives.



An organization uses hedging to address foreign currency risk.
Which of the following best describes this risk strategy?

  1. Avoidance.
  2. Acceptance.
  3. Reduction.
  4. Sharing.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Hedging transfers or shares the financial impact of foreign currency risk with another party, such as through derivatives or forward contracts. This approach does not eliminate the risk but reallocates its potential impact, which characterizes a risk-sharing strategy.



A financial institution intends to contract a data center management service provider to host and manage the data in its custody as a response to data security and protection risks.
What technique is being adopted by this organization?

  1. Risk acceptance.
  2. Risk avoidance.
  3. Risk sharing.
  4. Risk reduction.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Contracting a data center management service provider transfers part of the responsibility and potential impact of data security risks to a third party. This represents risk sharing, as the organization allocates the risk to another entity through contractual arrangements rather than retaining it entirely.



During an internal audit of an organization’s fixed assets, an internal auditor finds that several assets are not recorded in the organization’s ledger but are physically present during the site review. The equipment is in poor condition, suggesting it has been used for a long time.
Which of the following actions should the auditor take?

  1. Inform management of potential theft and suggest performing a physical inventory.
  2. Perform additional tests to investigate possible overstating of fixed assets.
  3. Ask the asset manager about the unrecorded assets to clarify the issue.
  4. Suggest management write off the equipment as it is in poor condition.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When unrecorded assets are identified, the auditor should first seek clarification from the responsible asset manager to understand the reason for the discrepancy. Gathering additional information is necessary before drawing conclusions or recommending corrective actions.



Which type of engagement would be the most appropriate to assess the maturity and rigor of the organizationwide risk management process of a target entity that management is considering acquiring?

  1. A due diligence engagement.
  2. An operational audit engagement.
  3. A feasibility study engagement.
  4. A risk and control self-assessment engagement.

Answer(s): A

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
