IT Audit Must Have a Voice in the Technology-Driven Business Landscape

Abstract

Technology-driven projects require a high level of planning and coordination – coordination that must include extensive involvement from IT audit. A new joint report from ISACA and Protiviti shows that there remains important progress to make regarding the extent to which IT audit participates in a project’s lifecycle, the promotion of IT audit awareness among executive leadership and the frequency with which risk assessments are performed.
