Protiviti’s Information Technology (IT) Audit professionals help organizations gain insight into the threats inherent in today’s highly complex technologies.
Protiviti conducts an annual survey of chief audit executives, as well as their internal audit directors, managers, and other professionals, to determine how they perceive their present capabilities, where they currently see need for improvement, and how they prioritize those needs. Respondents answer questions in three subject areas: General Technical Knowledge, Audit Process Knowledge and Personal Skills and Capabilities.
Within the subject area of Audit Process Knowledge, Auditing IT Program Development is rated as consistently having the lowest average competency of all the internal audit process skills listed in the questionnaire. The other areas of IT auditing pose similar challenges and are all perceived as having much lower competency than any other types of skills. These findings are consistent with the strongly expressed need for improvement in all aspects of IT audit.
A successful IT audit appropriately assesses technology risks and the control environment as they relate to critical business processes. Protiviti's deep expertise in IT audit can help ensure the integrity, reliability and performance of these processes. Through our methodologies, our clients realize more effective and efficient technology controls that better align the internal audit function with their business and IT strategies.
