For the new age of corporate governance, financial reporting compliance, and internal auditing
![]() |
Controls don't always work as well as they should.Many companies now rely quite heavily upon automated technology for processing a variety of transactions, and for reporting information. Because of this, financial auditors are now forced to consider and test technology in their financial audits. Matter of fact, the Corporate and Auditing Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) in the United States even requires it. This course will give you a basic understanding of how formal IT audits such as ISO/IEC 27001 & 27002; SAS 94, SAS 70, and BS 25999 audits affect your business and your relationships with your service organization vendors. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credit
Upon course completion, we will provide you with an achievement certificate for 16 continuing professional education (CPE) credits that can be used to fulfill requirements for maintaining a variety of professional credentials for fraud examination, accounting, auditing, and information security . |
