IT Internal Audit
Recruiting and retaining a high-quality in-house IT internal audit function is often
not cost effective. Organizations need skilled resources that provide practical
insight into risks and deliver recommendations that help improve effectiveness,
efficiency and governance.
Further, information systems increasingly underpin an organization's financial and
operational processes. Under these circumstances, organizations face increasing
IT and operational risks ranging from hacking, viruses, and fraud to network
failures, loss of key skills, and natural disasters. This often leads to growing IT
operational costs. In addition, IT-related projects, such as ERP implementations,
often fail to stay within budget.
Leading organizations are increasingly using IT Internal Audit resources that
provide the appropriate technical skills, experience, and flexibility to meet the
demands of a complex IT environment, constantly changing business conditions,
and compliance with legislation and regulation.
