Introduction
The IT landscape changes almost daily, and what is required of IT evolves along with it. Organizations depend more and more heavily on automation, and that makes them vulnerable. This means IT auditing is often high on the corporate agenda. IT audits play an increasingly important role in effective corporate governance. IT auditors assess organizations’ automation and automation’s organization. This allows organizations to prepare for change proactively.
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.
