Explanation:
From an IS auditor's perspective, the primary objective of auditing the management of service providers should be to determine if the services that were requested were provided in a way that is acceptable, seamless and in line with contractual agreements. Minimizing costs, if applicable and achievable (depending on the customer's need) is traditionally not part of an IS auditor's job. This would normally be done by a line management function within the IT department.
Furthermore, during an audit, it is too late to minimize the costs for existing provider arrangements.
Subcontracting providers could be a concern, but it would not be the primary concern. Transferring knowledge to the internal IT department might be desirable under certain circumstances, but should not be the primary concern of an IS auditor when auditing IT service providers and the management thereof.

An IS auditor can expect to find system errors to be detailed in the console log.
