Selected Answer: B
When preparing a plan for audits to be carried out over a specified period, the IS auditor should generally start by determining the audit universe. Therefore, the correct answer is: B. Determine the audit universe. Determining the audit universe involves identifying and defining the scope of the audits to be performed. This step is essential as it helps the IS auditor understand what systems, processes, and areas within the organization need to be audited. Once the audit universe is defined, the IS auditor can then proceed to allocate audit resources, prioritize risks, and review prior audit reports, as these activities are typically based on the knowledge of what is within the audit universe. So, while all the listed activities are important, determining the audit universe is the logical starting point for planning IS audits.
