Overview

An Information Technology audit is the examination and evaluation of an organization's information technology infrastructure, applications, data use and management, data security, policies, procedures and operational processes against recognized standards or established policies.

COAE IT audit determines whether IT controls are in place, while also ensuring the integrity of the data, and aligning the overall goals of a business. While every audit is different, the process of COAE IT audit is typically made up of four stages: planning, fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up

Outcome & Benefits

  • Improved Performance: An IT audit can help identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement within an organization's information technology infrastructure so that the organizations can take steps to improve their overall performance.
  • Enhanced Safety: One of the most important objectives of an IT audit is to ensure that an organization's information systems are secure. By identifying potential security vulnerabilities, COAE IT audits can help organizations take steps to mitigate the risks posed by these threats.
  • Monitor Potential Threats: In addition to identifying existing security vulnerabilities, IT audits can also help organizations monitor for potential threats. By staying up-to- date on the latest risks and trends, businesses can be better prepared to defend against future attacks and avoid unpleasant outcomes.
  • Improved Compliance: COAE IT audits can also help organizations ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards at all times

Process

Depending on the area of the business being audited, COAE auditors have different kinds of guidelines, standards and accompanying checklists that help them conduct effective audits. In its entirety, COAE IT audits can generally be said to inspect three things: people, processes, and technology.

01
People: The auditor understands who has access to systems and data, what their roles are, and how they might misuse their privileges.
02
Processes: The auditor understands how information flows through the organization, what controls are in place to protect data, and how well these controls are working.
03
Technology: The auditor understands what technologies are in use, how they are configured, and how they interact with other systems.

The IT audit process is generally completed in five steps:

01
Planning: The first step in the audit process is to develop a plan. This plan will outline the objectives of the audit, as well as the scope and methodology.
02
Preparation and Data Collection: The auditor needs to gather information about the organization and its IT systems. This may involve interviews, document review, and on-site observation.
03
Testing and Analysis: The auditor needs to test the controls in place to ensure that they are effective. This may involve simulations, analysis of logs, and penetration testing. Once the data has been collected, it will be analyzed to identify any issues or concerns.
04
Reporting: The auditor needs to prepare a report detailing their findings and recommendations. The report includes a description of the audit scope, methodology, findings, and recommendations for improvement.
05
Follow-Up: The auditor follows up with the organization to ensure that their recommendations have been implemented.

Performing risk assessments, reviewing compliance, and identifying inefficiencies are the key principles of COAE IT audits.
