the IS auditor should recommend a combination of options B and D:
B. Use generalized audit software: Generalized audit software is specifically designed for auditing purposes and can help in extracting and analyzing data from databases efficiently. It allows for the extraction of data based on specific criteria, such as the 80 largest client balances.
D. Leverage a random number generator: A random number generator can be used to select a random sample from the remaining client balances after extracting the 80 largest ones. This ensures that the sample is truly random and not biased.
This approach combines the use of specialized software for data extraction and analysis (option B) with a random number generator (option D) to ensure that the sample is both representative and random, as required for testing purposes.
Dont blind trust all answers.
An integrated test facility (ITF) creates a fictitious entity in a database to process test transactions simultaneously with live input. So its not this answer for sure.
I would go with GAS - as sample selection is one of its function.
