Objectifs
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- Go beyond the idea of auditing around the computer but place more emphasis on auditing through and with the computer based on the ISAs. - Understand the mechanism by which the auditor seeks assurance of the internal control processes by mitigating the apparent risk exposures with a level of IT auditing activities. - Draw out an IT auditing plan, implement a level of test of general controls and also exercise application tests to assist the substantive procedures in the era of data analytics. - Perform a documentation of electronic work-papers to meet up with standards and also learn why certain Big Auditing firms and the 2nd-tier firms are reluctant to implement it. - Prepare reports based on the job done to serve various users.
