Answer: B
Controls should be given high priority during a BPR project,
therefore this would be a concern for the IS auditor if they
are not adequately considered by management. The fact that
middle management is lost, as stated in choice A, is not
necessarily a concern as long as controls are in place.
Choices C and D do not have any relevance to a BPR project.
