Introduction
Course overview
Almost every financial and operational process now runs on information systems. If the underlying IT environment is poorly controlled, application controls and system reports cannot be relied upon, and errors or fraud may go undetected. IT general controls therefore sit at the heart of both internal and external audit work.
This Auditing IT General Controls training course gives auditors a practical understanding of how to plan, test and report on the core IT control domains: access management, change management, IT operations and system development. Participants learn what good controls look like, how to obtain and analyse evidence, and how to evaluate deficiencies and their impact.
The course is designed for both IT and non-IT auditors, explaining technical concepts in clear language while providing the depth needed to perform credible, evidence-based audit work.
