IT auditing is no longer just for specialists. Because IT drives the business, assuring governance, risk management and controls requires auditors to understand how IT works in their organization, and the line between IT and non-IT audits is fading outside highly technical areas.
This 60-minute course gives non-IT auditors and new information security professionals an overview of IS audit concepts, risks and concerns, globally recognized control frameworks, and the basics of planning and performing an IT audit. You'll also look at auditing IT governance, system acquisitions, development and implementation, business continuity and disaster recovery, and the IT audit tools available.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Financial and operational auditors increasingly assess IT risks, governance and controls. This session gives them the baseline knowledge to perform a basic IT audit as part of their work, and helps IT auditors sharpen their grasp of general and application controls and how they relate to business processes.
It suits auditors in business services, financial, government, insurance and retail organizations.
