Pré requis
Students should have little above basic knowledge of IT/IS, the structure of accounting information systems, auditing and a good general business culture. Overall, students are required to be able to demonstrate good analytical skills when confronted with various types of information systems auditing tasks.
Objectifs du cours
The late 20th century witnessed an increase in implementation of IT and IS strategies as a competitive advantage and this has persisted to date. However, the auditing activities that would comfort the stakeholders about the integrity of the accounting information systems and the resulting reporting procedures have not been implemented in the same pace.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- Go beyond the idea of auditing around the computer but place more emphasis on auditing through and with the computer.
- Understand the mechanism by which the auditor seeks assurance of the internal control processes by mitigating the apparent risk exposures with a level of IT auditing activities.
- Draw out an IT auditing plan, implement a level of test of general controls and also exercise application tests to assist the substantive procedures.
- Perform a documentation of electronic work-papers to meet up with standards and also learn why certain Big Auditing firms and the 2nd-tier firms are reluctant to implement it.
- Prepare reports based on the job done to serve various users.
