Although the IT audit takes a few days, the process begins even before that, as you lay out plans to conduct an audit in the future! Being the best IT Audit Company in Dubai, We handle our services in the most authentic and professional way possible.
Here are our steps involved in IT audit services in UAE:
The initial decision we make is whether to conduct an internal or appoint an external auditor and provide a third-party viewpoint to the IT systems. External audits are commonly seen in large corporates handling sensitive data. For most companies, an internal audit is more than sufficient and hence would be cost-effective to plan.
Here are the factors to consider while planning an audit:
Who will the auditor beWhen is the audit likely to take placeWhat processes should be established to prepare for the auditOur IT auditor discusses with various employees and team managers to understand the IT workflows, and ensure that the audit is not conducted when the employees are stuck with their work!
Once the timeframe for the audit is set, you should work with the audit team to prepare for the audit. Here is the list of elements you require at this stage:
Objectives of the AuditScope of the audit (areas being evaluated, level at which the audit evaluates)How will the audit be documentedA detailed schedule for the auditRemember that a checklist, though essential is not sufficient documentation for an audit. The motive to run this evaluation is to get a clear understanding of the weaknesses of the infrastructure and customize effective steps to solve them.
This is the third out of the five-step audit process. This is quite self-explanatory- if we complete the previous step, this will be a step to just execute the plan we created. - As you know even the best-laid plans often fail, and so we take a step to overcome last-minute interruptions. We ensure that you have enough time so you do not rush at the last minute. Missing important things results in total failure.
Once the audit is finished, there would be a big bundle of documents to present, along with the auditor’s notes, results, and suggestions. Following this, we incorporate the information into an authorized audit report. This document is used for future reference and would help to plan for the next year’s audit. Next, we create separate reports for every head of the audited department. We make a summary of what was evaluated, go through the items that do not require changes, and highlight any activity that is performed exceptionally well.&
Once the report findings are delivered, the date is added to the calendar for a follow-up with each team, and implementation of corrections is ensured. We recommend clients schedule follow-ups throughout the year to verify each item and ensure smooth running until the next audit.
