Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized audit software packages are designed to assist auditors in performing audit procedures on large volumes of data. These software packages can recalculate data fields, compare files and identify differences, and stratify statistical samples. However, they do not analyze results and form opinions, which is a task that requires the professional judgment of the auditor. Therefore, option D is the correct answer because it is the only task that is not performed by generalized audit software packages.
