Question

Jose para is an application programmer employed by the law firm of Am, Bulance, & Chasr. AB&C is a relatively small firm with a small number of application programmers for its mainframe computer system, so Jose also acts as the system programmer for that system. which of the following statements is correct for AB&C:

(a). AB&C's accounting system logs all transactions that are entered. This feature is a compensating strength for the weakness that Jose is both an application programmer and a system programmer and will provide sufficient security.
(b).Since Jose is the system programmer, Jose can more than likely override any system security and provide himself with unlimited access to application programs and data.
(c).AB&C's accounting system logs all access attempts to application programs. This feature is a compensating strength for the weakness that Jose is both an application programmer and a system programmer and will provide sufficient security.
(d).Since Jose already has write access to application programs in his function as application programmer, his function as system programmer will more than likely provide him no additional access.

Answer 1

The correct answer in this question is option (B).

Explanation:

In the question, it is given that Jose para is an application programmer and he also acts as the system programmer. He will override any system and provide the security and access to application programs and their data. In a law firm only one employee work as a system programmer and an application programmer. So It is difficult to overcome the serious internal control weakness. Except for option (B) all the options wrong. So the correct answer to this question is Option(B).
