The objectives of the data collection activity of the general model for accounting information systems are to collect data that are
A) relevant and redundant.
B) efficient and objective.
C) efficient and redundant.
D) efficient and relevant.
A) relevant and redundant.
B) efficient and objective.
C) efficient and redundant.
D) efficient and relevant.
Explanation
The objective of the data collection activity
Efficient and relevant means collection of data which is cost effective and important. Collecting of data which is cost effective and suitable and also serves as a relevant record. Thus, the objective of the data collection activity of the general model for accounting information system is to collect data which is efficient and relevant.
Therefore, the correct option is'd'.
Explanation of incorrect options:
Relevant and redundant means that having some bearing connection with the particular data or process and redundant means saving the duplicate data in two different places, data must be effective. Therefore, option 'a' is not correct.
Efficient and objective means collection of data which is cost effective and based on some facts and figures as data collected must be relevant, therefore, option 'b' is not correct.
Efficient and redundant means assembling of data which is cost effective and serves as a duplicate record in case a failure in the system occurs, but data must be relevant. Therefore, option'c' is also not correct.
