Special thanks to our featured speaker, Toby DeRoche, for contributing this valuable article on why all auditors (including non-IT auditors) need to know IT auditing and for allowing Yellowbook-CPE.com to publish it.

Tips/facts: IT auditing for non-IT auditors

• All auditors have a responsibility to understand a basic level of IT auditing
• Using the Yellow Book, we can organize the broad topic of IT control into 3 groups: general, application, and user controls
• General controls cover topics related to the whole organization
• Application controls are the control processes built into software
• User controls are the ones that depend on people for effective operation
• Once you know the basics, you can confidently apply your everyday auditing skills to IT topics
