A is corrent because the systems analyst is responsible for designing the computer system, including the goals of the system and means of achieving those goals, based upon the nature of the business and its information needs. The systems analyst also must outline the data processing system for the computer programmer with system flowcharts. B is incorrect because computer programmers write detailed programs based upon the work of the systems analyst. C is incorrect because the internal auditor may review the systems design and program flowcharts, but is not responsible for their design. D is incorrect because the data processing manager has overall responsibility for the computer operations function (systems design, programming, operations, library, etc.).
