Information Technology (IT) has an
ever increasing influence on organizational risks and
controls. IT
creates opportunities, but these opportunities bring
with them risks which need to be understood and
managed:
Assuming the role of internal IT
auditors we will:
- Evaluate
the complexity of IT
- Develop
an audit plan
- Evaluate
internal system controls
- Determine
the degree of reliance on internal controls
- Perform
substantive testing
- Review
work and issue an audit report
- Conduct
follow–up work as requested
The use of IT in today’s
organizations is so pervasive that the quality of
financial audit evidence may in fact depend on IT
controls.
