Analyzing risks posed by new regulations is an appropriate role of internal audit in helping to establish an organization's privacy program. An internal auditor can provide assurance and advisory services on the compliance and effectiveness of the privacy program, as well as identify and assess the potential risks and impacts of new or changing privacy regulations. The other options are not appropriate roles of internal audit, but rather the responsibilities of the management, the information security officer, or the privacy officer. References:

The mitigating factor that would most significantly minimize the impact of not renewing IT risk acceptances in a timely manner is having documented compensating controls over the business processes. Compensating controls are alternative controls that reduce or eliminate the risk when the primary control is not feasible or cost-effective. The other factors, such as previous approval by senior management, unchanged business environment, and small percentage of issues, do not mitigate the risk as effectively as compensating controls.

EVA is a project management technique that measures the performance of a project by comparing the actual work completed, the actual costs incurred, and the planned costs for the work scheduled. EVA can help determine if the project is on track, ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, and if the project is under budget, over budget, or on budget. EVA can also help forecast the final cost and schedule of the project based on the current performance.

The best point in time to conduct a post-implementation review is after a full processing cycle. A post- implementation review is a process to evaluate whether the objectives of the project were met, how effective the project was managed, what benefits were realized, and what lessons were learned. A post-implementation review should be conducted after a full processing cycle, which is the period of time required for a system or process to complete all its functions and produce its outputs. This allows for a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of the project's performance, outcomes, impacts, and issues.
The other options are not as good as option A. Conducting a post-implementation review immediately after deployment is too soon, because it does not allow enough time for the project's product or service to operate in the real world and generate measurable results. Conducting a post-implementation review after the warranty period is too late, because it may miss some important feedback or opportunities for improvement that could have been addressed earlier. Conducting a post-implementation review prior to the annual performance review is irrelevant, because it does not align with the project's life cycle or objectives.

Leveraging an IT governance framework is the best way to enable alignment of IT with business objectives, as it provides a set of principles, standards, processes, and practices that guide the effective delivery of IT services that support the organization's strategy and goals. Benchmarking against peer organizations, developing key performance indicators (KPIs), and completing an IT risk assessment are useful activities that can help measure and improve the performance and value of IT, but they are not sufficient to ensure alignment without a governance framework.
