Answer 1

To answer this question, first we need to understand the meaning of access, input and prcoessing controls.

Access controls are the controls a company has in place to ensure unauthorised access to a room or system is prevented by a person.

Input controls are the controls which provide a check on the accuracy and completeness of data when it is converted from a manual form and entered into a system (E.g. spreadsheet)

Processing controls, as the name suggests, are controls in place to ensure that the input data entered is correctly analysed and processed upon and that the processed data is virtually error free.

Keeping in mind these points, the following table has been filled.

1. Device authorization table	Access
