Why Should You Attend:
Information technology (IT) has become a critical entity component. With the advancement of computing power, entity manager-leaders have become increasingly dependent on IT to carry out operational requirements for collecting, processing, maintaining, and reporting essential data. This reliance on electronically encoded data and the systems that affect managerial decisions should be a significant concern of management. Assuring an entity's governance, including risk management and control processes, requires organizational management to understand the role of IT within the entity and develop adequate knowledge and skills to monitor IT-based systems. The course design gives most organizations generally accepted areas of risk through exposure to The Davis Adaptive IT Auditing System and Governance Tree frameworks. Moreover, Dr. Davis will facilitate an executive-level understanding of IT auditing standards and guidelines associated with performing IT assurance services.
