This course makes you a better auditor. It uses case studies to stretch your problem-solving ability and to increase your technical knowledge. It will help you develop a creative, practical, and consultative approach to your audits.

If you have found that audits tend to become rote exercises following canned routines, this seminar will show you how to enhance your current methods with systematic problem-solving techniques that you can apply to any audit. It will also show you how to conduct IS audits that provide outstanding support to the financial audits.

Because each audit is different and can't always be addressed effectively using just checklists, this course shows you how to add value by treating each audit as an interesting challenge. The outlook and approach you learn here will add to your current checklists and methodologies, and make your audits less boring.

This class provides you with technical training for many types of audit, and for many different types of computer. The extensive exercises will re-inforce the technical details you learn, as well as show you how to think through the most effective approach for any type of audit. Technical topics covered include: UNIX, Windows, mainframe computers, and networks. Types of audit include: security, performance, application controls, compliance, and business resumption, and management controls.

(Please note that not every exercise and not every technical topic will be addressed in each class session. Topics to be covered will be selected based on the individual needs of class members.)

You will learn how to:

  • Conduct a wide variety of IS audits, including security, performance, compliance, and efficiency
  • Link the IS audit to the financial audit
  • Conduct IS audits that add value with meaningful findings and practical recommendations
  • Conduct audits involving different types of computer, including UNIX, Windows, and mainframes
  • Audit computer networks
  • Audit in a way that is practical and problem-solving instead of rote filling out of forms and canned procedures
  • Address any audit with a fresh eye and a structured, systematic approach
The workbook is a valuable reference.
