The need for “Information Technology (IT) Internal Audit” for institutions and organizations is increasing daily. IT audits play a key role in ensuring the security of all critical data processed and stored in financial and non-financial electronic environments. They also ensure the smooth operation of the entire system.
Internal audits help organizations identify potential risks and control deficiencies. They assess the effectiveness of existing control environments and corporate governance processes. Additionally, they assist in achieving strategic goals, sustainability, and growth.
Misuse of information technologies and the risk of personal/confidential data exposure are growing concerns. Critical data losses can have financial, operational, reputational, and legal impacts on the organization. Cyber crimes, high costs of IT errors, and constant changes in the IT field make integrating IT audit activities essential.
In some sectors in our country, information technology auditing is mandatory.
IT internal audits are crucial for ensuring the economic and efficient use of IT resources. They help organizations obtain expected benefits. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems aim to integrate all processes and data of an organization. Before starting a new ERP implementation project, it is vital to analyze and design the roles, responsibilities, and authority matrices of personnel. Without this step, critical authority gaps may occur when the project is completed, and the system is put into use.
Preliminary analysis and evaluation studies on the main topics covered by IT internal audits benefit organizations before comprehensive system installations (e.g., SAP installation). Otherwise, adapting applications running in the production environment to new systems can negatively affect both cost and time. This exposes the organization to potential risks due to control deficiencies until the issues are resolved.
Key areas of internal audit include:
- Authorization
- Change management
- Quality and risk management
- Third-party service management
- Operation management
