Answer: C
The use of continuous auditing techniques can actually
improve system security when used in time-sharing
environments that process a large number of transactions,
but leave a scarce paper trail. Choice A is incorrect since
the continuous audit approach often does require an IS
auditor to collect evidence on system reliability while
processing is taking place. Choice B is incorrect since an
IS auditor normally would review and follow up only on
material deficiencies or errors detected. Choice D is
incorrect since the use of continuous audit techniques does
depend on the complexity of an organization's computer systems.
