Test data uses a set of hypothetical transactions to verify
the program logic and internal control in short a time and
for an auditor with minimal IT background. In a parallel
simulation, the results produced for an actual program are
compared with the results from a program written for the IS
auditor; this technique can be time consuming and requires
IT expertise. An integrated test facility, enables test data
to be continually evaluated when transactions are processed
online; this technique is time consuming and requires IT
expertise. An embedded audit module is a programmed module
that is inserted into an application program to test
controls; this technique is time consuming and requires IT
expertise.
