Abstract:

Technology is playing an ever-growing role in how organizations achieve their business objectives, making it increasingly important to assess technology vulnerabilities and risks as they relate to critical business processes. An organization's top executives, board of directors and audit committee members look to IT management for effective oversight of IT risks. The controls in place to manage these risks are an essential part of the internal control environment and structure. These same executives look to internal audit to evaluate whether IT risks are appropriately understood, managed and controlled. This important check and balance, or creative tension, forms an integral part of today's corporate governance process.

Protiviti's whitepaper provides a current outlook on high value IT audits, including a snapshot of the present technology landscape and its impact on internal audit, effective views of technology risk, approaches to IT auditing and an overview of the common types of these audits.
