06.06.2023

In the frame of Research and Training Hub project, EUROSAI IT Working Group is developing a training course IT Audit for non-IT Auditors. 

The goal of the whole training course IT Audit for non-IT Auditors is to increase the quality and impact of contemporary audits that frequently include IT components. Therefore, non-IT-auditors would benefit from basic knowledge about IT auditing provided in the training course. The training course will eventually consist of 7 modules in total and next modules will be published step by step.

Currently there are four modules open for learning.

  • The first module IT Audit in a Supreme Audit Institution has five chapters, it starts with an overview of SAI audits with IT components followed by addressing IT components in SAI audits, standards and frameworks relevant to the IT audit, planning of an audit with an IT component, and IT auditing methods.
  • The second module IT Systems, Software and Data has six chapters - it gives an overview of IT infrastructure, systems, software, and services. In addition, it introduces risks related to data quality, and outlines IT standardization and auditing aspects.
  • The third module IT Governance has five chapters - it gives an overview of IT governance and related issues, including management. In addition, it covers IT governance premises and components, frameworks and standards, IT governance in the public sector, as well as auditing aspects of IT governance.
  • The fifth module Procurement and Outsourcing has five chapters. It covers an overview of life cycle, processes and activities of IT procurement and outsourcing. Also, it introduces specific management and technical issues related to IT procurement and outsourcing and related legislation, standards and frameworks. Finally it can be learned about auditing aspects of IT procurement and outsourcing.
