Hi,
Sample:
Information Systems Audit
When an organization has set up any information system, the information systems audit must be performed to evaluate the performance and compliance of the components of the IT system. The audit helps the organization to verify that the architecture in place works according to the intended notion. The scope of IT audit covers the entire lifecycle of the technology systems. The scope of information systems audit in an organization also depends on the system supporting the business. Essentially, an audit ensures that the assets under management are handled properly.
IS auditing is done both internally and externally. Internal auditors perform auditing and reviews to ensure that the information system works in accordance with the company policies. Third party external auditors perform IS audit to review and verify the internal audit reports. External auditing emphasizes on data, integrity, operations, security, privacy, software applications, productivity, cost control, expenses, and budgeting. The auditing also ensures that the information system in an enterprise is compliant with industry standards.
Audit process steps
The auditors start by defining the scope of the audit. This is defined based on the objectives of the organization. If the auditors don’t define scope clearly, more than allocated resources may be required to complete the audit.
