Information Technology Audits and Controls
Technology is at the center of the modern workplace. As businesses have become increasingly reliant on technology, the information technology (IT) audit has become a necessity for ensuring an organization is aware of potential risks and is able to maximize their technology investments. New risks and continuous technology changes and innovations further emphasize the need to conduct routine and ongoing IT audits. Periodic audits detail current IT security, governance, and risk issues. IT audits also provide recommendations for changes and updates to IT practices and system controls.
