Answer: D - Accounting is not a part of a business impact analysis. A business impact analysis is considered a functional analysis that features data from interviews and documentary sources; documents business functions, activities, and transactions; develops a hierarchy of business functions; and finally applies a classification scheme to indicate each individual function’s criticality level. When determining a classification scheme, base the company’s decision upon the following characteristics: maximum tolerable downtime, operational disruption and productivity, financial considerations, regulatory responsibilities, and reputation.
