Abstract
This paper discussed an IT audit that involves examining all IT business processes and data that integrate with an organization´s financial systems. The examination reviews controls and compliance with policies. An IT audit might also require a review of the organization´s use of IT in supporting business from efficiency, effectiveness, and economic points of view. In some cases the audit findings might require changes to business processes or lead to an investigation uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse.
