Introduction To Information Systems Audit

An information systems audit evaluates an organization's controls and use of information technology to ensure alignment with business goals, protection of assets, and data integrity. It assesses efficacy and identifies risks. The audit has phases of planning, fieldwork/documentation, and reporting/follow-up. While a financial audit verifies accounting records, an IS audit is a separate engagement focusing on information systems and controls rather than financial transactions.
