I was practising PYQ but found that my answers were always different from the suggested solution…
For example:
06/11 Q1. TinkerbellEach customer has a unique customer account number and this is used to enter sales orders when they are received in writing from customers. The orders are entered by an order clerk….
Test of controls
Suggested solution : Enter an order for a fictitious customer account number and ensure the system does not accept it – to ensure that orders are only accepted and processed for valid customers.But when I first saw the question, what came into my mind was : For a sample of sales order entries, agree the customer account number to the related sales orders – to ensure that the order clerk correctly allocate sales order to the related customer.
And I’m struggled whether mine is correct or not. What do you guys think?

It’s correct.
From your example all of these could work
-data validation checks on input(application control)
-matching customer ID to order, invoice etc.
– test sequence of IDs(if applicable)
-check for authorization for new customer IDs
-match ID to customer info and verify they existMay 13, 2013 at 4:11 pm #125349Million thanks
