Introduction
The IT landscape changes almost daily, and with it, the demands placed on IT. Organizations are becoming increasingly dependent on information technology, which can also make them highly vulnerable. Consequently, IT auditing often ranks high on the corporate agenda. An IT auditor assesses an organization's information technology and the quality of its management and control. This enables anticipation of major shifts—such as the current rise of AI. The IT audit is becoming an increasingly important tool for ensuring sound governance and even public accountability regarding it.
As an IT auditor, information specialist, accountant, IT manager, quality manager or risk manager, you are always working to keep up with the latest IT developments, assurance, legislation and financial issues. Competent IT professionals must have a thorough understanding of cybersecurity, business processes, data analysis, algorithms and auditing competencies. Such professionals can support organizations in their risk, control, design and change management. Our part-time Executive Master of IT Auditing program helps IT professionals advance their careers.
