Information Technology (IT) is a critical enabler of business. As computing power has advanced, enterprises have become increasingly dependent on technology to carry out their operational requirements and to collect, process, maintain and report essential data. This reliance on electronically encoded data and on the systems that affect managerial decisions are a major concern of audit professionals. Assuring an enterprise’s governance, including 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.
