Assess and manage third-party and cloud dependencies in technology system internal audit.
Building Comprehensive Internal Audit Programmes for Technology Systems
A concise, decision-focused programme covering technology system internal audit end to end.
Course Overview
The documentation for technology system internal audit is accurate only until the next release. Systems supporting internal audit fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of technology and systems delivery it covers ends in something applicable. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for technology system internal audit, not for observers of it. The difficulty is not agreeing that the technology and systems delivery capability matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make internal audit hard in practice. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in technology system internal audit that were visible long before the incident. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of internal audit to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider technology and systems delivery agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
