Explore the essential principles and practices of information systems auditing, with a focus on audit planning, execution, and IT governance. Gain a comprehensive understanding of audit lifecycles, risk-based approaches, and the frameworks that underpin effective IS audit engagements. This course introduces the core concepts of information systems auditing, including the roles and responsibilities of auditors, audit planning, and the execution of IS audit engagements. Learners will examine professional ethics, audit evidence, and reporting standards, as well as the critical frameworks and regulatory requirements that guide IS audits. The course also delves into IT governance, risk management, and the evaluation of internal controls, providing a solid foundation for understanding how governance structures and risk oversight shape audit activities. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to plan and conduct IS audits and evaluate governance and risk management practices within organizations. The course uses a structured, module-based approach, combining clear explanations, real-world examples, and case studies to reinforce key auditing and governance concepts. Learners will build confidence in applying audit techniques and evaluating IT governance through interactive content and knowledge checks. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject.
