Answer: D
BPR is the process of responding to competitive, economic
pressures and customer demands to survive in the current
business environment. Advantages of BPR usually are
experienced when the reengineering process appropriately
suits the business needs. Choice A is not correct, because
in a BPR, an IS auditor should have a concern that all
controls, especially both those in the new processes and
those key controls that may have been reengineered out of a
business process. Choice B is not correct because what BPR
seeks is to have less manual interventions and controls.
Choice C is also incorrect because in BPR the newly designed
business processes, inevitably involve changes in the way of
doing business.
