"Providing basic IT training to the entire staff to prevent errors in using the system"
Is it Application or General Control. The Kaplan Exam Kit's Answer section says it is Application Control. But I don't understand why. Can you please help me with this.

General and Application Control
7y ago#1The question is ambiguous as it depends on what's meant by 'system'.
If 'system' means accounting system, for example, then it would be an application control as it is aimed at the operation of a specific application.
If 'system' means the complete IT system and the training relates to anti-virus measures, logging-on, back-ups, password security etc, then it would be an application control.
