Answer / guest
Answer: A
A redundancy check detects transmission errors by appending
calculated bits onto the end of each segment of data. A
reasonableness check compares data to predefined
reasonability limits or occurrence rates established for the
data. A parity check is a hardware control that detects data
errors when data are read from one computer to another, from
memory or during transmission. Check digits detect
transposition and transcription errors.

An IS auditor conducting a review of disaster recovery planning at a financial processing organization has discovered the following: * The existing disaster recovery plan was compiled two years ago by a systems analyst in the organization's IT department using transaction flow projections from the operations department. * The plan was presented to the deputy CEO for approval and formal issue, but it is still awaiting his attention. * The plan has never been updated, tested or circulated to key management and staff, though interviews show that each would know what action to take for their area in the event of a disruptive incident.
