I think answer D

Generalized Audit Software can accomplish the following audit tasks:

1. Examine records for quality, completeness, consistency, and correctness (review bank demand deposit files for unusually large deposits and withdrawals)

2. Verify calculations and make computations (re-compute interest, Bank COT, etc. and verify payroll Net pay, Deductions, etc.)

3. Compare data on separate files (compare current and prior-period inventory files for obsolete and slow-moving items)

4. Select and print audit samples (accounts receivable confirmations, customer refunds over a certain amount).

5. Summarize and re-sequence data (re-sequence inventory items by location to facilitate physical observations).

6. Compare data obtained through other audit procedures with company records (compare creditor statements with accounts payable files).
