Information System Audit: How to Control the Digital Disruption

The digitalization of companies is a recurrent topic of conversation for managers. Companies are forced to evolve at least as fast as their competitors. They have to review their organization, their processes, and their way of working. This also concerns auditors in terms of their audit strategy and working methods.

Digitalization is the tip of the iceberg that represents the increasing reliance on information technology of the company's information system. Companies have seen new competitors succeed with a digital approach, competitors that have opened new markets or new ways of interacting with their customers, and all business processes can be digitalized.

In this new paradigm, auditors have to renew themselves too. Long gone are the days of auditors specializing in one technique, like financial auditors or IT auditors. This makes it a phenomenal opportunity for auditing to renew itself, embracing the vision of the company's information system: long live the information system auditors!

This book proposes you to go step by step from a common understanding of our history of auditing to gradually defining and justifying the impacts of digitalization on the audit strategy and the preparation of audits.

公司的數位化是管理者經常討論的話題。公司被迫以至少與競爭對手同樣的速度進化。他們必須重新審視組織、流程和工作方式。這也涉及審計師在審計策略和工作方法方面的問題。

數位化只是冰山一角，代表著公司資訊系統對資訊技術的日益依賴。公司看到有數位化方法取得成功的新競爭對手，這些競爭對手開拓了新市場或與客戶互動的新方式，所有業務流程都可以數位化。

在這個新範式中，審計師也必須自我更新。過去那些專精於一種技術的審計師，如財務審計師或IT審計師的日子已經一去不復返。這為審計提供了一個非凡的機會，讓其自我更新，擁抱公司資訊系統的視野：資訊系統審計師萬歲！

本書提議您從對審計歷史的共同理解逐步進行，逐漸界定和證明數位化對審計策略和審計準備的影響。
