Answer: A
"The standard on responsibility, authority and
accountability states, "
The responsibility, authority and accountability of the
information systems audit function are to be appropriately
documented in an audit charter or engagement letter."
Choice B and C are incorrect because the audit charter
should be approved by the highest level of management, not
merely by the information systems audit department, or the
user department. The resulting planning methodologies should
be reviewed and approved by senior management and by the
audit committee. Choice D is incorrect because the audit
charter, once established, is not routinely revised and
should be changed only if change can be, and is, throughly
justified."
