11An insurance company that has adopted cooperative processing is planning to implement new standard software in all its local offices.

14At a remote computer center, management installed an automated scheduling system to load data files and execute programs at specific times during the day. The best approach for verifying that the scheduling system performs as intended is to
- AAnalyze job activity with a queuing model to determine workload characteristics
- BSimulate the resource usage and compare the results of operations
- CUse library management software to track changes to successive versions of applications programs
- DAudit job accounting data for file accesses and job initiation/termination messages
15Management is concerned that data uploaded from a personal computer to the company’s server may be erroneous. Which of the following controls would best address the issue?
- AServer data should be backed up on a regular basis
- BTwo persons should be present at the personal computer when it is uploading data
- CThe data uploaded to the server should be subject to the same edits and validation routines that online data entry would require
- DThe users should be required to review a random sample of processed data
16Using standard procedures developed by information center personnel, staff members download specific subsets of financial and operating data as they need it. The staff members analyze the data on their own personal computers and share results with each other.

The greatest risk associated with this situation is that
- AThe data obtained might be incomplete or lack currency
- BThe data definition might become outdated
- CThe server data might become outdated
- DRepeated downloading might fill up storage space on staff members’ personal computers
