Description

With the increased use of client-server networks in industry, the need for auditors who can perform information system audits is more important than ever before. Traditional auditors have been thrust into a systems environment where they have had to audit complex computer systems, and may have performed the very basic traditional financial auditing techniques but many critical controls are often overlooked. This text provides traditional auditors as well as new information systems auditors with the practical information they need to complete an information systems audit satisfactorily. Following the format of an IS audit program, it shows how to examine a company's hardware, software and data organization and processing methods to ensure quality control and security.
