GAS is the most common for testing files and databases, no doubt!

Wait, is Parallel Simulation really a CAAT? Sounds odd!

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like Custom Audit Software (CAS) might be more tailored for specific tasks rather than general testing.

I'm confident I know the answer to this one. Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is the CAAT that enables auditors to analyze computer-based information, so that's my pick.

I've worked with some of these tools before, so I have a general idea of what they measure. I'll just need to double-check the specifics to make sure I select the right options.

Haha, D) Custom Audit Software (CAS)? Really? That's like asking an accountant to write their own calculator app. B) Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is the way to go, people!

B) Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is the obvious choice here. I can't believe anyone would even consider A) Parallel Simulation - that's just for testing the accuracy of the software, not the data itself.
