Data Center General Controls Questionnaire

This sample questionnaire can be used to measure the processes associated with an organization’s mainframe data center general controls.

Sample questions include: Is the annual information processing facility (IPF) budget prepared by IPF management and reviewed and approved by executive management? Does the annual budget include provisions for purchases of computer hardware and software, software maintenance, salaries, office equipment, and vendor support contracts? Does IPF management routinely and proactively compare actual performance to the annual plan and budget?
