Design and implementation of audit simulation interaction platform

Informatization is the ultimate way out for audit method in China. In order to improve audit quality, the auditee´s information system always needs to be restored on the auditors´ environment by re-installing them. The kind of audit model brings great pressure to the auditors, not only is the heavy workload at each audit project, but also there is incompatibility problems between different operating systems and software versions. In response to these problems, this paper proposed a method using virtualization technology to deploy audit simulation system environment. Based on the analysis of current mainstream virtualization platform, this paper designed the realizing solution of audit simulation interaction system choosing the VMware vSphere virtualization platform and achieved deployment environment under the present equipments of the Lab. Finally, this paper compared and analyzed the audit simulation result before and after implementing virtualization deployment, evaluating the performance of systems and proving that using virtualization technology in audit simulation interaction system has many advantages.
