A PRIMARY benefit derived from an organization employing

Answer Posted / guest
Answer: A
CSA is predicated on the review of high-risk areas that
either need immediate attention, or a more thorough review
at a later date. Answer B is incorrect because CSA requires
the involvement of both auditors and line management. What
occurs is that the internal audit function shifts some of
the control monitoring responsibilities to the functional
areas. Answer C is incorrect because CSA is not a
replacement for traditional audits. CSA is not intended to
replace audit's responsibilities, but to enhance them.
Answer D is incorrect because CSA does not allow management
to relinquish its responsibility for control.
