Preface
Welcome to Auditing Information Systems!
Information Systems (IS) Audit involves assessing the management controls within an organization’s IT infrastructure and business applications. This examination aims to determine whether the information systems effectively protect assets, ensure data integrity, and support the organization’s goals and objectives. This type of review can be conducted in conjunction with other types of audits, such as a financial statement audit or internal audit.
This open educational resource (OER) aims to serve as a companion to students during their Auditing Information Systems course. It covers the latest IS auditing standards, ethical principles, IT governance, risk management, controls, and newer technologies such as cloud computing and blockchain. It is designed to help students navigate the complexities of IS auditing and manage risks effectively.
