OVERVIEW
This webinar will assist those without technology experience in their pursuit of designing and executing audits that assess information security components. It is specially designed to meet the basic IT audit training needs of financial and operational auditors who audit IT governance, risks, management, and controls. The objective of this training is to provide
the necessary knowledge for non-IT auditors to allow them to perform a basic IT
audit during a financial or an operational examination. During this webinar, you will acquire baseline knowledge for IT general and application control concepts and skills and their importance and relationship in your business processes. You will also learn the fundamentals of issues concerning IT controls, and the scope of addressable IT risks in today’s business environment. WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Strategic and tactical manager-leaders enable large supplier and buyer repositories of sensitive business and personal information that, if compromised, will have severe organizational and individual repercussions. Various news outlets such as Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and CNN Business have presented events concerning cybersecurity breaches. Most of these reputable news organizations implied serious allegations regarding managerial due diligence during the lifecycle of collected data. Between July 2018 and April 2019, as compiled by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by International Business Machines, the reported average annualized cybercrime cost of globally surveyed industry sectors was $3.92 million per organization. The Ponemon Institute 2019 study also
estimated that a typical company has a 29.6% probability
of experiencing a data breach within the next two years. Undoubtedly, an individual or group authorized activation of the applications containing personally identifiable data. Nonetheless, it appears adequate precautions, such as application processing testing, were not performed either before deployment, during implementation, or after installation by the project team. Thus, the question regarding the circumstances that produced financial and reputational losses is: Did organizational employees adequately perform IT control assessments using an appropriate audit system? AREAS COVERED
Information Technology (IT) is a critical enabler of business. Assuring an enterprise's governance, including IT risk management and control processes, requires auditors to understand the role of IT within their organizations and to develop adequate knowledge and skills to audit IT systems as the line separating "IT" and "non-IT" audits are beginning to disappear, except in the very technical IT domains. Auditors examine the adequacy of controls in information systems and related operations to assure effectiveness and efficiency in business processes. Additionally, among other assurance services, auditors evaluate the reliability of computer-generated data supporting financial statements and analyze specific programs and their processing results. However, individual audit objectives and practices vary considerably from organization to organization, and there are many kinds of practitioners in audit-related activities, such as external auditors, internal auditors, self-assessment evaluators, quality reviewers, and security assessors. For this reason, the audit process must be adaptive in use and high-level in structure. Guidelines on IT auditing for the non-IT auditor must include the fundamental goals for assurance services: to study and evaluate the control system and to collect evidence to form the basis of an opinion. Whereby, to accomplish these goals, non-IT auditors may conditionally perform compliance testing and substantive testing. This webinar will present guidance following the general structure of planning, studying, testing, reporting, and follow-up. This course outlines essentials of IT auditing for the non-IT auditor including an overview of the various considerations and aides in audit planning to gain a greater understanding of how to evaluate defined audit areas. Covered areas in the session encompass:
