1According to ICAB Syllabus 2023 LO1 for IT Governance, which Bangladesh instruments are candidates specifically expected to discuss?

A.National IT Policy 2018 and the Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006 (with later amendments)

B.Only the Companies Act 1994, with no ICT instruments

C.Only Basel III capital rules

D.Only IFRS 9 expected credit loss models

Explanation: ICAB Syllabus 2023 LO1 and the ICAB IT Governance Handbook references list National IT Policy 2018 and the ICT Act, 2006 (with amendments, including 2013) among instruments candidates may discuss for legal, ethical and social issues affecting information systems.

2What is the primary purpose of an organisation’s IT policies, standards and procedures?

A.To define sales commission formulas

B.To provide a framework so IT systems operate effectively, securely and in a controlled manner

C.To replace the need for any technical controls

D.To set only the colour scheme of user interfaces

Explanation: ICAB handbook sample guidance and LO1 emphasise that IT policies, standards and procedures establish the organisational framework for effective, secure and controlled IT operations. They do not replace technical controls and are not marketing or UI artefacts.

3Under Bangladesh’s Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006, which action is treated as an offence in the sense illustrated by ICAB’s IT Governance handbook samples?

A.Downloading music from an authorised storefront

B.Sending an email without a subject line

C.Unauthorised access to, or alteration of, information in a computer system or network

D.Using a computer after 10 pm

Explanation: ICAB’s IT Governance Handbook sample questions treat unauthorised access to or alteration of computer system/network information as an offence under the ICT Act, 2006.

4Which action is treated as electronic forgery in the sense used in ICAB IT Governance handbook sample material on Bangladesh IT law?

A.Creating a duplicate electronic record with proper authorisation

B.Backing up electronic data under approved procedures

C.Encrypting personal data to protect confidentiality

D.Altering an electronic record without authorisation

Explanation: Handbook Set-D material identifies altering an electronic record without authorisation as electronic forgery under Bangladesh IT law concepts.

5Why must organisations identify relevant laws, regulations and industry standards affecting their information systems?

A.Because compliance obligations shape required controls, evidence and acceptable use of systems

B.Because laws replace the need for internal IT policies

C.Because industry standards always override statute

D.Because only marketing teams are subject to IT regulation

Explanation: LO1 requires candidates to identify laws, regulations and industry standards affecting the organisation. Those external requirements drive control design, monitoring and acceptable-use expectations.

6Which ethical or social issue is most directly associated with information systems in the LO1 syllabus sense?

A.Whether the CFO prefers IFRS or local GAAP line-item captions

B.How systems collect, use and disclose personal data and the fairness of automated decisions

C.Whether the organisation’s WAN latency meets an ISP service-level agreement

D.Whether the general ledger uses periodic or perpetual inventory methods

Explanation: LO1 requires demonstration of ethical and social issues in information systems—classically privacy, consent, surveillance, bias in automated decisions, and digital inclusion.

7What is an essential element that distinguishes an IT standard from a high-level IT policy statement?

A.A standard is always optional guidance with no compliance expectation

B.A standard only describes marketing slogans

C.A standard typically sets mandatory, measurable requirements that support the policy

D.A standard replaces all detailed procedures

Explanation: Policies state intent/direction, standards set mandatory measurable requirements that operationalise the policy, and procedures describe how work is performed.

8The ICAB IT Governance Handbook lists which primary reference for Bangladesh’s national IT policy instrument?

A.National IT Policy, 1991

B.EU GDPR text alone as Bangladesh’s national IT policy

C.US SOX Section 404 alone as Bangladesh’s national IT policy

D.National IT Policy, 2018

Explanation: Handbook references explicitly cite National IT Policy, 2018.

9When an organisation drafts an acceptable use policy for information systems, which content is most essential?

A.Permitted and prohibited uses of systems and data, user responsibilities, and consequences of misuse

B.Only the approved list of corporate typefaces for letterheads

C.Only the preferred programming language for the development team

D.Only the brand colour palette used in marketing materials

Explanation: Acceptable use policies define allowed/prohibited behaviours, responsibilities and sanctions so users understand boundaries that support confidentiality, integrity and availability.

10Which statement best reflects the relationship between organisational IT procedures and external legal requirements?

A.Procedures must ignore all external law

B.Procedures should be designed so day-to-day IT activities support compliance with applicable laws and regulations

C.External law makes internal procedures unnecessary

D.Only paper ledgers are regulated; digital systems have no legal duties

Explanation: LO1 links policies/procedures with identification of laws and regulations. Procedures translate legal and policy requirements into operational steps.

ICAB PL IT Governance Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorise the five syllabus areas and 15/15/20/25/25 weightings so study time matches mark allocation.

2Know National IT Policy 2018 and ICT Act 2006 (with amendments) at concept level—policy purpose, offences such as unauthorised access/alteration, and why procedures must support compliance.

3Be able to contrast MIS vs DSS, and explain EIS, OLAP, expert systems, cloud and the LO2 AI technique list.

4For governance, link COBIT/ITIL to business alignment, steering committees, risk, resources and KPIs—not just acronym recall.

5For security and audit, practise CIA controls, encryption, SoD, risk-based planning, evidence quality, reporting and follow-up using CISA-style judgment stems.
