Selected Answer: B
Vote against D. could be the indication "...that have not been tested since implementation." There is nothing mentioned about a previous system. Therefore, it is absolutely the first time such data transfers between these system have been executed. So I vote as real human being against all D-votes of AI tools for B.

Selected Answer: D
The most useful information for an IS auditor to plan an audit of the integrity of data transfer between two business-critical systems would be D. Previous system interface testing records. These records provide insights into how the systems were tested initially, any issues that were identified, and how they were resolved. This historical data is crucial for understanding the current state of the systems and identifying any potential areas of concern.

Selected Answer: B
System change logs: These logs provide a history of modifications to the systems, which is crucial for understanding potential points of failure or data corruption during transfer15. They reveal when changes were made, what components were affected, and who made the changes. This information helps the auditor focus on areas with higher risk1
