Answer: D
Compliance with field-naming conventions ensures that
ongoing program maintenance can be carried out by different
programmers, and that quality controls are facilitated.
Access control tables, program documentation and data flow
diagram techniques normally would not be included in coding
standards. An IS auditor has to be aware of such standards
and their components so that they know where to look for
information and why such standards are important.
