Answer: C
All generalized audit software has facilities for
statistical analysis. Spreadsheets do not lend themselves to
the extraction and analysis of transaction data. Parallel
simulation is a process of replicating computer-based
processes. Regression testing is the process of rerunning a
portion of a test plan to ensure that changes or corrections
have not introduced new errors.
