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.
