IT Audit

Our Expertise

Take control of your infrastructure and technology controls

Technology is the backbone of your business and fundamental to the financial reporting process. As your business and systems evolve, the dynamic between IT, financial applications, business processes, transactions, and financial statements will become more complex. It’s crucial to have a deep understanding of your IT controls environment so your organization can continue being successful.

That’s where our team comes in. We assess management’s understanding of risk, organizational compliance requirements, and key functional and operational controls to establish a risk-based IT audit plan. We’ll work collaboratively with your internal audit department to improve the effectiveness of your security controls and align your IT controls environment with organizational policies and strategic priorities. By assessing your IT environment through the lens of people, process, and technology, we’ll work to understand your systems, business process, infrastructure, and general controls environment to evaluate the effectiveness of your internal controls.

Our team of IT audit professionals have experience working with IT environments of all shapes and sizes, from multi-national public companies to small not-for-profit organizations. We take a risk-based approach, providing you with a roadmap for building an effective IT audit plan and strategy while meeting various financial, security, and privacy regulations.
