New regulations, increasing IT security threats, evolving technologies, and staff shortages challenge today’s audit executives to address the enterprise’s increasing IT risks. To help avoid devastating harm to the organization’s reputation from headline-making security breaches and address these IT risks, the IIA has issued advisories stating that ALL internal auditors must have sufficient knowledge of key information technology risks and controls (1210.A3); must consider the use of technology based and other data analysis techniques (1220.A2); and must assess information technology governance (2110.A2).

This two-day seminar is designed to help audit executives get up to speed on a wide range of technologies, meet the new challenges posed by technological change, and provide assurance that IT risks are being adequately addressed. Presented in straightforward language, this briefing will provide you with a comfortable working knowledge of IT terms and concepts; update you on new and emerging technologies affecting your business, and help you establish a strategic response to IT risks.
