A. that fewer opportunities for review and authorization will exist.
EDI promotes a more efficient paperless environment, but at the same time, less human intervention makes it more difficult for reviewing and authorizing. Choice B is incorrect; since the interaction between parties is electronic, there is no inherent authentication occurring. Computerized data can look the same no matter what the source and does not include any distinguishing human element or signature. Choice C is incorrect because this is a security risk associated with EDI. Choice D is incorrect because there are relatively few, if any, additional data center controls associated with the implementation of EDI applications. Instead, more control will need to be exercised by the users application system to replace manual controls, such as site reviews of documents. More emphasis will need to be placed on control over data transmission (network management controls).
