Answers
D.
Password length is set to eight characters
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The finding that should be of greatest concern to the IS auditor is that user accounts are shared between users. User accounts are unique identifiers that grant access to an organization's financial business application based on the roles and responsibilities of the users. User accounts should be individualized and personalized to ensure accountability, traceability, and auditability of user actions and transactions. User accounts should not be shared between users, because this can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the financial data and systems, and can enable unauthorized or fraudulent activities. If user accounts are shared between users, the IS auditor may not be able to determine who performed what action or transaction, or whether the user had the appropriate authorization or approval.The other findings are also concerning, but not as much as user account sharing, because they either affect the password strength or frequency rather than the user identity, or they relate to monitoring rather than controlling user access.Reference:CISA Review Manual (Digital Version)1, Chapter 5, Section 5.2.2
