Which of the following is a function of an IS steering committee?
A . Monitoring vendor-controlled change control and testing
B . Ensuring a separation of duties within the information’s processing environment
C . Approving and monitoring major projects, the status of IS plans and budgets
D . Liaising between the IS department and the end users
Answer: C
Explanation:
The IS steering committee typically serves as a general review board for major IS projects and should not become involved in routine operations; therefore, one of its functions is to approve and monitor major projects, the status of IS plans and budgets. Vendor change control is an outsourcing issue and should be monitored by IS management. Ensuring a separation of duties within the information’s processing environment is an IS management responsibility. Liaising between the IS department and the end users is
a function of the individual parties and not a committee.
