Course Description

This seminar will provide a unique opportunity for your organization’s IT management and professional staff to become acquainted with the role and responsibilities of your organization’s internal audit function and more specifically, the organization’s IT audit professional.

In today’s evolving virtual markets and highly complex, global corporate environments, information technology professionals, operational, financial, and IT auditors must all work together in helping to establish, implement and secure organizational infrastructure from both internal and external threats.

This seminar will provide the attendee with an insight into the most critical and sensitive areas of an organization, areas which are increasingly being examined by an organization’s internal audit function. Internal controls and security are examined with an objective of gaining a better understanding of the audit concerns related to securing and controlling an organization’s IT environment.

Audience

IT Managers, system administrators, managers of telecommunications, directors of security, safety and continuity planning, and IT professionals who through their involvement in managing or directing IT infrastructure will eventually be requested, by their organization’s internal and/or external audit function, to participate in an examination of IT operations under their authority.
