The correct answer is B. an approved business case is in place.
Explanation:
A business case is a document that justifies the investment in a project and explains how the project will benefit the organization. It includes an analysis of the costs and benefits of the project, as well as the risks and assumptions associated with it.
Before implementing a business application, the organization should have an approved business case that outlines the reasons for the implementation, the expected benefits, the estimated costs, and the risks associated with the project. The business case should be reviewed and approved by the organization's management before the project is initiated.
The IS auditor should first ensure that an approved business case is in place because it provides a basis for evaluating the project's success and serves as a benchmark for measuring its progress. Without an approved business case, the organization may be at risk of investing resources in a project that does not align with its strategic objectives or does not provide the expected benefits.
Once the business case is in place, the IS auditor should review the other options. User requirements should be used to select the vendor to ensure that the business application meets the organization's needs. Users should be represented on the project management team to provide input and feedback on the project's progress. Security requirements should also be specified to ensure that the business application is implemented in a secure manner. However, these are secondary considerations that should come after the approval of a business case.
