Accounting and IT professionals providing audit and internal control services today cannot ignore the increasing impact of advanced technology on clients, customers and employers. Being aware or recognizing the right IT questions to ask when beginning a financial audit at a client organization makes the difference between a focused and productive audit versus a costly audit. Gaining better in-depth understanding of a client’s entity and its environment can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a financial auditor’s audit process.
In IT General Controls for Financial Auditors: Overview, Joel Lanz introduces what financial auditors should consider when assessing the IT risk associated with the client organization and what questions to ask the client’s IT Department or function when auditors begin an audit. Joel will also provide an overview of IT General Computer Controls and provide highlights to the other four webinars coming up as part of the IT General Controls for Financial Auditors series.
