Information System Audit by Philippe Peret Pdf

The digitalization of companies is a recurrent topic of conversation for managers. Companies are forced to evolve at least as fast as their competitors. They have to review their organization, their processes, and their way of working. This also concerns auditors in terms of their audit strategy and working methods. Digitalization is the tip of the iceberg that represents the increasing reliance on information technology of the company’s information system. Companies have seen new competitors succeed with a digital approach, competitors that have opened new markets or new ways of interacting with their customers, and all business processes can be digitalized. In this new paradigm, auditors have to renew themselves too. Long gone are the days of auditors specializing in one technique, like financial auditors or IT auditors. This makes it a phenomenal opportunity for auditing to renew itself, embracing the vision of the company’s information system: long live the information system auditors! This book proposes you to go step by step from a common understanding of our history of auditing to gradually defining and justifying the impacts of digitalization on the audit strategy and the preparation of audits.

ISO 9000 Quality Systems Auditing by George Dennis Green Pdf

"This book addresses every aspect of ISO 9000 Quality Systems Auditing. Any organization preparing for ISO certification will need to carry out Internal Audits to confirm that its Quality System has been implemented and is effective in achieving the organization's objectives. Such auditing also provides opportunities for everyone to make changes to the Quality System so that it can become more efficient." "Dr Green addresses 'evaluation' of suppliers through second party audits, but he also shows how these can be kept to an absolute minimum by the introduction of a systematic method for getting on to an Approved List." "The mystique surrounding third party audits is removed by detailed explanations of pre-audits, pre-assessments and assessments. The attributes of good auditors and important facets of good auditing are discussed. Inexperienced and experienced auditors could also benefit from studying the set of 'core questions' prepared for their use."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Implementing and Auditing the Internal Control System by D. Chorafas Pdf

With globalisation, deregulation and the advent of derivatives, credit institutions and the treasury operations of manufacturing, merchandising and service companies are finding that their traditional tools for management control no longer suffice. They must develop more efficient processes able to measure and monitor their risks in real-time. Internal control is a dynamic system covering all types of risk, addressing fraud, assuring transparency and making possible reliable financial reporting within such organisations. In Implementing and Auditing the Internal Control System , Dimitris N. Chorafas defines both auditing and internal control, and explains the value of internal control, why it must be audited, and how it can be most effectively achieved. He addresses top management's accountability for internal control, and uses case studies to demonstrate the application of such systems, and the importance of sound and well-informed analysis of the information gathered. Internal control systems are examined within the context of the globalization of financial markets, under the impact of the growth of information technology, and from the viewpoint of new regulations by supervisory authorities in Group of Ten countries as well as by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision. Based on an extensive research project in the UK, US, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden, this book is an invaluable source of practical advice for implementing internal control systems, and making existing systems more efficient. It provides managers and professionals with guidelines for the interpretation and use of the resulting internal control intelligence.
