Audit Aspects

Abstract

The possibilities of achieving reliable integrity controls will obviously depend on the size and organization of the EDP department concerned. The S/38 contains features that make reasonable integrity controls feasible. Typically, however, it will be used in an environment with a limited number of staff. Even so, exposure can be limited to the EDP department by preventing users from all access other than through menu driven operations (see 3.4.9.). (Integrity controls are those controls that ensure uninterrupted and uncorrupted running of application systems as intended; they are also sometimes called organizational controls or general controls.)
