Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An audit hook is a technique that immediately alerts auditors of suspicious transactions by intercepting data before it is processed and comparing it to predefined criteria. It enables auditors to monitor and control data processing activities, detect fraud or errors, and generate reports on unusual transactions. SCARF, audit sinker, and the snapshot technique are not relevant or commonly used auditing techniques.
