Why Are Preventative Controls Generally Preferred to Detective Controls

Multiple Choice

Why are preventative controls generally preferred to detective controls?

A) Because preventive controls promote doing the right thing in the first place, and lessen the need for corrective action.
B) Because preventive controls are more sensitive and identify more exceptions than detective controls.
C) Because preventive controls include output procedures, which cover the full range of possible reviews, reconciliations and analysis.
