Getting stuck in a ditch is no picnic, but if you have the tools to extricate yourself and don’t use them, you have only yourself to blame. Yet that’s the situation many companies find themselves in. They already have a resource available to help assess their strategic risks, control their spreadsheets, oversee data management, support sustainable environmental initiatives and ease the migration from one operating system to another. That resource is IT internal audit, but it’s not always invited to participate in these areas. Organizations that encourage IT internal audit to take on a leadership role in implementing strategic initiatives can generate a great deal of added value — and help keep them from ever getting stuck in a ditch again.

Highlights:

• What do companies gain by making IT internal audit an integral component of their business strategy?
• How can IT internal audit help companies with their regulatory compliance issues? What about IFRS and the impact on IT systems?
• What is IT internal audit’s role in monitoring contracts for external relationships to make certain that costs are minimized and profits maximized?
• How can IT internal audit help companies effectively manage and secure data?
• Can IT internal audit play a leadership role in monitoring controls for Sarbanes-Oxley costs?
