Information security is becoming increasingly important
Increasing connectivity and digitalisation are bringing about far-reaching changes in the business world. Modern accounting is no longer conceivable without complex IT systems. At the same time, however, this also increases the risks for companies, especially when handling data. Confidentiality, availability and integrity of data are key security requirements that must also be met with regard to the regularity of IT-supported accounting. Our IT auditors are experts in operational IT and develop targeted measures for you to counteract risks and check the security and reliability of your IT systems.
Methodology and reporting
We conduct our IT audits in accordance with nationally and internationally recognised guidelines and standards, such as ISA 315 and ISA 330, the DV1 and DV2 expert opinions of the Expert Committee for Data Processing of the Chamber of Public Accountants, selected guidelines of the IDW and COBIT.
The IT Audit Report presents the audit areas, audit procedures, assessment and evaluation methods, security criteria and findings in a transparent and comprehensible manner. Based on the findings, a follow-up plan is then drawn up in consultation with the client and those responsible for the processes and systems, in which measures to reduce risks are defined and prioritised. The implementation of the agreed measures is recorded systematically and in a structured manner (‘issue tracking’).
Your added value
Companies no longer expect auditors to simply provide professional assurance services, but also to make a meaningful contribution to optimising processes and increasing business success. An IT audit is a useful starting point, as the high level of IT penetration also provides a good overview of the company's business processes.
