Robert E. Davis

I am a management audit consultant/senior audit manager, a freelance writer, and university level instructor, as well as a Delta Mu Delta and Golden Key member. My information systems audit focus include Control Objectives for Information and related Technology, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Regarding information security and privacy, I am available to provide International Organization for Standardization-27000 series, GDPR, and HIPAA consulting as well as assurance services. My primary information systems research interests are governance, risk management, and compliance.

Since starting my career as an information systems (IS) auditor, I have provided data security consulting and information systems auditing services to the United States Enrichment Corporation, Raytheon Company, United States Interstate Commerce Commission, Dow Jones & Company, and Fidelity/First Fidelity (Wells Fargo) corporations and other organizations; in staff through management positions.

Prior to engaging in the practice of IS auditing and information security consulting; I (as a corporate employee) provided inventory as well as general accounting services to Philip Morris, USA and general accounting services to Philadelphia National Bank (Wells Fargo).

I graduated from Temple University, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, and Walden University with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Business Administration, and Doctor of Business Administration degree, respectively. While attending Temple University, my major areas of study were Business Law and Accounting. Subsequently, I successfully completed the requirements for a Management Information Systems subject major at West Chester University. I also obtained the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certificate, after passing the Information Systems Audit and Control Association's rigorous three hundred and fifty multiple-choice questions examination and was conferred the Certified Internal Controls Auditor (CICA) certificate by the Institute for Internal Controls. Thereafter, I met the educational standards for a Information Systems Management specialization at Walden University.

Educationally, I was a management information systems instructor at the Temple University Fox School of Business. Moreover, regarding training individuals in the information systems audit process, I have provided instruction to an Internet CISA study group, the Data Processing Management Association, online webinar participants (e.g., ComplianceIQ), and the ISACA-Philadelphia Chapter CISA Review course. I also authored articles for ITAUDIT magazine and ISACA Journal. Furthermore, I am a former ISACA-Philadelphia Chapter Board of Directors' member and College Relation Chairman.
