Pre-Course Assignment

This module introduces the fundamentals of IT auditing, focusing on its role in ensuring compliance, operational integrity, and system reliability. It explains key regulations like SOX and rating/review systems used in audits.

This module explores key IT governance frameworks, such as COSO and COBIT, which guide effective auditing practices and internal control assessments.

This module categorizes different types of IT audits and explains their respective scopes, objectives, and deliverables. It also clarifies roles of internal vs. external auditors.

This module focuses on understanding IT controls that ensure the reliability of systems and data. Participants learn how IT General Controls (ITGC) and IT Application Controls (ITAC) work together to safeguard financial and operational processes.

This module explains the end to end IT audit lifecycle, from planning to follow up, enabling learners to execute audits systematically and professionally.

This module develops participants’ ability to analyze control design, operational effectiveness, and risk exposure within IT environments.

This module provides hands on exposure to executing practical IT audit activities, including control testing, deficiency identification, and reporting.

This module focuses on SOC attestation engagements, particularly SOC 1 and SOC 2, emphasizing testing requirements, report structure, and review methodologies.

This module introduces auditors to emerging technologies that are transforming IT systems and audit landscapes. It focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud computing, robotic process automation (RPA), and other technologies that require auditors to adapt their risk assessment and control strategies. The module equips learners with the ability to assess risks, controls, and audit strategies in these modern environments.

This module addresses the critical intersection of IT auditing and cybersecurity. As data breaches, ransomware attacks, and identity theft rise, IT auditors must understand security architecture, access controls, encryption, and incident response to evaluate the effectiveness of information security programs. This module equips auditors with the necessary skills to evaluate technical and administrative controls designed to protect information assets.
