If you’re wondering what is IS audit, it is the process of collecting and examining the management of controls over an organization’s information systems, practices, controls and operations. The analysis of evidence obtained through the IS audit process determines whether the components of the information systems that safeguard assets and maintain data integrity are operating effectively to achieve the organization’s overall goals and objectives. The audit reviews performed can be in conjunction with a financial statement audit, internal audit, or other forms of attestation engagement.

The IS Audit covers the following major categories:

Information System Audit
  • Systems & Applications: Focusing on the systems and applications within an organization.

  • Information Processing Facilities: Focusing that IT processes are working correctly, timely and accurately, whether in normal or disruptive conditions.

  • Systems Development: Evaluate if those systems which are under development are in compliance with the organization’s standards.

  • Management of IT and Enterprise Architecture and assuring that IT management is structured and processes in a controlled and efficient manner.
