8%

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Setting KPIs:

A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) should be set at a level that allows for early detection and response to deviations from desired performance levels.

In this case, management wants to be alerted when error rates meet or exceed 4%, even though the acceptable limit is 5%.

Alert Threshold:

Setting the KPI at 4% ensures that management receives timely alerts before reaching the unacceptable error rate of 5%.

This approach enables proactive management and correction of processes to maintain error rates within acceptable limits.

Reference:

ISA 315 (Revised 2019), Anlage 5 discusses the importance of monitoring and setting appropriate thresholds for performance and risk indicators to manage and mitigate risks effectively.
