    examiner says
    “Reliance on CAATs will force the auditor to rely on programmed controls during an audit; in fact using CAATs may be the only way to test controls within a computer system.”

    why is auditor is forced to rely on programmed controls?
    can we test control within a computer system without CAATs?

    If a computer system is supposed to reject orders that would put a customer over the credit limit, how would you test that the order is indeed rejected? There might be no record of rejected orders. Therefore use test data: set up a fake customer with a credit limit and see if it rejects large orders.
