You are the project manager of GHT project. During the data extraction process you evaluated the
total number of transactions per year by multiplying the monthly average by twelve. This process
of evaluating total number of transactions is known as?

A.
Duplicates test

B.
Controls total

C.
Simplistic and ineffective

D.
Reasonableness test

Explanation:

Reasonableness tests make certain assumptions about the information as the basis for more
elaborate data validation tests.
Answer A is incorrect. The duplicate test does not identify duplicate transactions; rather it

identifies and confirms the validity of duplicates.
Answer C is incorrect. As compared to simplistic, the reasonableness test is a valid foundation for
more elaborate data validation tests.
Answer B is incorrect. The control total test does not ensure that all transactions have been
extracted, but only ensures that the data are complete.
