This handbook is an accessible introduction to modern computer audit for new recruits to the profession and for practising financial auditors who need to increase their knowledge of computer auditing.
The book will help meet an increasing need for computer audit training in the auditing profession. The basic perspective taken for this handbook is that of the internal auditor and since this is wider than the remit of external auditing, the contents apply to both. Auditors and accountants who wish to develop their knowledge of computer audit and security will find the book especially useful. In addition, information technology professionals and computer science students who are finding issues of security and control increasingly important, will discover this handbook to be of significant use in their work. Published in association with the Institute of Internal Auditors, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern computer audit for new recruits to the profession, and for financial auditors who wish to increase their knowledge of computer auditing. The main topics covered include: *computer audit management *auditing applications *small business computers *computer assisted audit techniques *databases *legal and code of practice issues *computer abuse. The author and contributors are audit and security practitioners, with many years' experience in this field. Contributors: Ian Douglas, Deputy Head of Systems Audit at Barclays Bank.
