Today’s accounting professional delivering technology consulting services cannot ignore the impact of data protection on clients. A proper business continuity plan should be reflective of a sound IT governance policy and the organization’s risk tolerance. 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.
In IT General Controls for Financial Auditors: IT Operations and Disaster Recovery, Yigal Rechtman addresses what financial auditors should be aware of when reviewing a client’s IT Department operations. Yigal will first provide an integrated view of key considerations within an IT Department: monitoring, risk assessment, access management, and system development. Then he will dive into specific details related to IT Operations and Business Continuity.
