Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preventive controls are designed to prevent problems or errors from occurring in the first place. They are proactive in nature and applied before a problem or error can occur. As such, they cannot be applied retrospectively. On the other hand, corrective controls are reactive in nature and applied after incidents or problems have already occurred, while detective controls are designed to detect problems or errors after they have already occurred.
