ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

One of the roles of Internal Audit is to provide independent assurance that an organization’s risk management, governance and internal control processes are operating effectively.

Internal Auditors help organizations to achieve their goals and objectives. They do this through a combination of assurance and consulting services. The assurance part of their work includes providing information to managers and governors about the level of efficiency of the systems and processes employed towards keeping their organization on track. They also provide consulting services, aiming at improving these systems and processes, where necessary.

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΣΕΜΙΝΑΡΙΟΥ

The purpose of an IT audit is to evaluate the system's internal control design and effectiveness. This includes, but is not limited to, efficiency and security protocols, development processes, and IT governance or oversight. The primary function of an IT audit is to evaluate the systems that are in place for the security of an organization's information. Specifically, information technology audits are used to evaluate the organization's ability to protect its information assets and to properly dispense information to authorized parties. An IT audit aims to evaluate the following:

• Will the organization's computer systems be available for the business at all times when required? (known as availability)
• Will the information in the systems be disclosed only to authorized users? (known as security and confidentiality)
• Will the information provided by the systems always be accurate, reliable, and timely? (measures the integrity)

In this way, an audit engagement aims at assessing the risk to the organization’s valuable asset (its information) and establishing methods of minimizing those risks.
