During an audit, you are asked to verify that a software license purchase was made by your company. What would serve as the best form of non-repudiation to prove the transaction occurred?
User manual for the software
Verbal assurance from the department head
Purchase receipt of the software license
Installed version of the software on the company computers
A purchase receipt serves as a formal acknowledgment of the transaction that has taken place. It provides proof that the company acquired the software license, which is essential for non-repudiation. A user manual or the software itself does not serve as proof of purchase. An assurance from the department head might indicate the purchase happened, but unlike a receipt, it's not a solid piece of evidence that auditors typically rely on.
