IT Audits, Audit Readiness, and Implementation & Assessment of IT Controls
Reliable financial and operational reporting today relies on strong IT controls. We help organizations assess and strengthen key areas of IT governance in systems that impact financial statements. To achieve this, we leverage EY’s global methodology and follow procedures based on International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance.
What EY can do for you
IT General Controls Assurance
We focus on key areas of IT general controls:
- Access Management – user account administration, authentication, access recertification, and privileged accounts.
- Change Management – documentation, approval, testing, and deployment of system changes.
- Operational Processes – data backup and recovery, scheduled tasks, monitoring, patch management, and vulnerability management.
IT Application Controls Assurance
We assess application and reporting controls to verify data integrity and completeness. Our goal is to ensure that outputs from IT systems are accurate, reliable, and auditable.
Form of Audit - External vs. Internal Audit
We provide IT audit and IT controls assurance as part of external financial statement audits. Additionally, we offer these services as internal audit engagements tailored to client needs.
Audit Readiness and Implementation
We help organizations prepare their IT environment for audit. Based on international standards (ISA, SOX), we deliver comprehensive advisory services that minimize risks and enhance confidence in the stability and transparency of IT systems. Together, we establish a robust IT risk management framework that supports business objectives and ensures regulatory compliance. We also offer assistance with implementing controls in line with these and other international standards through gap analysis.
