Using a source code comparison program can help auditors identify changes made to the program code. This technique can help identify unauthorized changes made by anyone who is not authorized to modify the code. The other options listed (interviewing programming staff or examining documentation) may help provide information, but they are not as direct a way to identify unauthorized program changes. Interviewing terminated staff may also be irrelevant if the changes were made by someone who is still employed by the organization.
