I’m a bit confused; I thought the GAO primarily relied on the Yellow Book, so I’m not sure which other standards apply.

I remember studying the Yellow Book, and I feel like the AICPA might be relevant too, but I can't recall the specifics.

I'm pretty sure the answer is A, since the question specifically mentions "in flight encryption" which suggests data encryption during synchronous replication.

Okay, the key requirements are to add security to the response messages from Service C while minimizing performance impact. I think option B looks promising, using the service consumer's public key for encryption.

I'm torn between interviews and anonymous mechanisms. Both protect individual confidentiality, but interviews feel more thorough and nuanced.

Wait, if equity shares are issued, wouldn't that actually lower the gearing ratio? I don't know if I'm overthinking this.

Glad I studied up on my government auditing organizations. INTOSAI is the way to go!

INTOSAI, of course! The GAO is part of the government, so it makes sense they'd use standards from that organization.

The International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) is the correct answer. The GAO can reference their external audit standards in addition to the Yellow Book.
