An internal auditor is reviewing a new automated human resources system. The system contains a table of pay rates which are matched to the employee job classifications. The best control to ensure that the table is updated correctly for only valid pay changes would be to:

  3. Ensure that adequate edit and reasonableness checks are built into the automated system.
  4. Require that all pay changes be signed by the employee to verify that the change goes to a bona fide employee.
