Wait, can server logs really be edited? That’s surprising!

I recall something about "Sampling" being used in similar scenarios, but I can't shake the feeling that "Analysis" fits better for this specific case.

I feel like "Observation" could be relevant too, but it seems more like they are checking the logs directly, which might lean towards "Analysis."

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where we had to choose between "Sampling" and "Observation." This feels more like "Sampling" to me.

I think the audit procedure used here might be "Analysis," since they are looking closely at the logs to see if they can be altered.

Okay, I've got this. The audit team was checking the integrity of the server logs, so the correct audit procedure would be analysis to verify the logs can't be edited or deleted.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The question talks about verifying if the logs can be edited or deleted, so maybe observation would be the right audit procedure to check that?

If I was an auditor, I'd want to make sure I have a good sample size to draw conclusions. B) Sampling is the way to go.

C) Observation seems like the logical choice here. The audit team would need to actually watch the servers to see if the logs can be edited or deleted.
