During the planning stage of an IS audit, the PRIMARY goal of an IS auditor is to:
A.
address audit objectives.
B.
collect sufficient evidence.
C.
specify appropriate tests.
D.
minimize audit resources.
Explanation:
ISACA auditing standards require that an IS auditor plan the audit work to address the audit
objectives. Choice B is incorrect because the auditor does not collect evidence in the planning
stage of an audit. Choices C and D are incorrect because theyare not the primary goals of audit
planning. The activities described in choices B, C and D are all undertaken to address audit
objectives and are thus secondary to choice A.
