Really? I thought shadow IT was only about unapproved software.

I practiced a similar question, and I think A is definitely the best choice since it involves a cloud tool that IT doesn’t know about.

I think shadow IT is when employees use tools or services without IT's approval, so I’m leaning towards option A.

I'm a little confused by the wording of these options. They all seem to involve some kind of unauthorized technology use, but I'm not sure which one specifically qualifies as shadow IT. I'll have to re-read the question and options more closely.

Okay, I've got this. The correct answer is A - an employee using a cloud-based tool without IT approval. That's a classic example of shadow IT, where employees bypass official IT processes to use their own tools and services.

This looks like a straightforward question about shadow IT. I think the key is to identify the examples that involve employees using unapproved IT resources or services without the knowledge or consent of the IT department.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know other comprehensive income includes things like foreign currency translation differences and actuarial gains/losses, but I'm not totally sure about revaluation of non-current assets. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Ha! Option D is my pick. Using the company tablet for social media? That's just asking for trouble. IT is going to have a field day with that one.
