Course Overview

This course is designed for financial, operational, business, and new IT auditors to provide a solid introduction to the risks and controls necessary to audit IT department functions and the underlying technologies. We will cover the basic concepts of information technology to help auditors understand the IT impact on business. We will explore such IT areas as operating systems, networks, database management systems, and application systems. Supporting IT general controls, such as logical and physical access, help desk, system development, change management, and disaster recovery planning will also be covered. We will introduce a top-down, risk-based approach to auditing business applications and ensuring that their supporting infrastructure is considered in the audit process.
