IT Auditing - Principles and Practices for Executives and Directors

This IT Audit webinar facilitates an executive-level understanding of the ISACA IT Auditing Standards associated with performing IT assurance services and accepted areas of risk for most organizations through exposure to The Davis Adaptive IT Auditing System and Governance Tree frameworks. Webinar presents guidance following the general structure of planning, studying, testing, reporting, and follow-up. This structure can be applied broadly, or narrowly, defined IT audits.

Why Should You Attend:

As computing power has advanced, entities have become increasingly dependent on technology to carry out their operational requirements and to collect, process, maintain and report essential data. This reliance on electronically encoded data and on the systems that affect managerial decisions constitute a significant concern of audit professionals. Consequently, Information Technology (IT) auditors examine the adequacy of controls in information systems and related operations to assure effectiveness and efficiency in business processes. Additionally, among other assurance services, IT auditors evaluate the reliability of computer-generated data supporting financial statements and analyze specific programs and their processing results. To ensure maximum value delivery from audit area assessments, oversight committee members need an evaluation methodology that enables confidence in the work performed by IT auditors.

“IT Auditing: Principles and Practices for Executives and Directors” highlight assurance assessment oversight for information and related technology considerations. Systemically, this webinar covers accepted criteria for examining information systems deployed in specific audit areas. Regarding assurance practice content, this webinar will address fiduciary responsibilities for sound IT governance, IT risk management, and IT compliance using detailed examples. In this webinar, we will discuss the suitability of using accepted information criteria to determine appropriate entity-wide IT due diligence.
