Explanation

Walkthroughs and interviews are valuable audit techniques because they reveal what actually happens in practice, which may differ significantly from what policy documents and procedure manuals describe. Auditors can observe real workflows, ask clarifying questions, and uncover gaps, workarounds, or undocumented behaviors that written documentation cannot capture. This 'walk the process' approach is a cornerstone of effective auditing. The other options are incorrect: walkthroughs do not eliminate the need for data access logs (A), they cover organizational and process dimensions beyond just technical metrics (C), and they are used throughout the audit lifecycle-not only after deployment (D).
