Choice "C" is correct. Program-level policy describes information security and assigns responsibility for achievement of security objectives to the IT department.
Choice "a" is incorrect. A program-framework policy adds detail to the IT program by describing the elements and organization of the program and department that will carry out the security mission.
Choice "d" is incorrect. Issue-specific policy addresses specific issues of concern to the organization.
Choice "b" is incorrect. System-specific policy focuses on policy issues that management has decided for a specific system.
3.D
Choice "d" is correct. Even though Conner has a realized loss of $10,000 on this transaction he cannot deduct the loss since it was incurred in a transaction with his daughter, a related party.
Choice "b" is incorrect. $3,000 is the limit on deductible net capital losses. However, Conner cannot deduct this loss, since it was incurred in a transaction with his daughter, a related party.
Choice "c" is incorrect. Conner's realized loss on the sale is $10,000 ($20,000 proceeds less $30,000 basis). However, Conner cannot deduct this loss, since it was incurred in a transaction with his daughter, a related party.
Choice "a" is incorrect. $10,000 is Conner's realized loss on the sale. However, Conner cannot deduct this loss, since it was incurred in a transaction with his daughter, a related party.
4.A
A is corrent. Current vulnerability due to a possible recession is not a required disclosure regarding risks and uncertainties. The nature of operations, the use of estimates in preparation of financial statements, and current vulnerability due to concentrations are all required disclosures according to ASC Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties.
