Which of the following is a prevalent risk in the development of end-user computing (EUC)
applications?

A.
Applications may not be subject to testing and IT general controls

B.
increased development and maintenance costs

C.
increased application development time

D.
Decision-making may be impaired due to diminished responsiveness to requests for information

Explanation:
End-user developed applications may not be subjected to an independent outside review by systems
analysts and frequently are not created in the context of a formal development methodology. These
applications may lack appropriate standards, controls,quality assurance procedures, and
documentation. A risk of end-user applications is that management may rely on them as much as
traditional applications. End-user computing (EUC) systems typically result in reduced application
development and maintenance costs, and a reduced development cycle time.
EUC systems normally increase flexibility and responsiveness to management’s information
requests.
