Aus dem Klappentext

It has become impossible for today's enterprises of any size and in any market sector to exist without computers to assist with their fundamental business operations. The modern auditor, therefore, requires significantly more knowledge of computers and computer auditing than did auditors of earlier years. In order for organizations to take full advantage of the opportunities that computers can offer, their systems must be controlled and dependable.

Written for those who need to gain apractical working knowledge of the risks and control opportunities within an information processing (IP) environment, as well as the auditing of that environment, Auditor's Guide to Information Systems Auditing includes a complementary student's version of the IDEA Data Analysis Software CD and is particularly useful for professionals andstudents within the fields of:

• IT security
• IT audit
• Internal audit
• External audit
• Management information systems

Emphasizing the practical implementation of principles and techniques through the use of realistic case studies, Auditor's Guide to Information Systems Auditing follows the approach used by the Information System Audit and Control Association's modelcurriculum and is an excellent study guide for those preparing for the CISA and CISM exams.
