Course Overview:
Technology, innovation, and business processes drastically changed in the past 20 years while many internal audit processes and approaches have not. For example, historically, auditors looked for signatures, now signatures are automated and do not exist in physical form. The audit approach must adapt to these types of automated business controls. This one day seminar allows participants to identify gaps between the business process and the audit process, as well as explore all the steps needed to prepare an effective audit program. You will understand the importance of the engagement level risk assessment and will prepare a risk-based audit program. You will learn how to determine the engagement scope and set engagement objectives. By incorporating the use of frameworks, you will be able to quickly identify relevant controls and write audit test steps to test those controls.
Who should attend:
· All Auditors testing automated controls
· Senior Auditors supervising audit projects and preparing audit programs
· Audit Managers writing or approving test steps
Learning Objectives:
· Explain how technology changes audit evidence
· Adapt requests, testing, and documentation for automated controls
· Describe IT dependencies
· Overcome the limitations of IT controls testing
Program level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: IT Auditing for Non-IT Auditors or at least 6 months experience in performing, managing, or testing IT controls
Advanced Preparation: None
Instructional Method: Group-live
Recommended CPE credit: Field of Study – Auditing (8)
