A. Limit checks

B. Tickler files

C. Public key cryptography

Listed here are 10 definitions or descriptions of control plans.

Definitions or Descriptions

1. Determines if a customer number has been input correctly.

2. Ensures that transmitted messages can be read only by authorized receivers.

3. A control plan that cannot be implemented unless source documents are prenumbered or numbered before input.

4. In systems where accountable documents are not used, this control plan helps ensure input completeness by informing the data entry person that data have been accepted for processing by the computer system.

5. Used to detect changes in batches of events to ensure the validity, completeness, and accuracy of the batch.

6. Used to determine that a message has not been altered and has actually been sent by the person claiming to have sent the message.

7. A file of open sales orders that is periodically reviewed to ensure the timely shipment of goods.

8. Sales orders are compared to packing slips and the goods to determine that what was ordered is what is about to be shipped.

9. A system output becomes an input source in a subsequent event.

10. A type of programmed edit check that is similar to a reasonableness check.

Match the 10 definitions or descriptions with a control plan that best matches the definition. Because there are 12 control plans, you should have two letters left over.
