CIPFA’s Computer Audit Guidelines focuses firmly on computer auditing as
a top level management responsibility. It deals thoroughly with the great variety
of current audit problems all organisations need to address. The chapters are
conveniently divided into two broad categories – those that focus on the
management of IT audit activity and on using IT for audit, and those that provide
guidance on the controls and safeguards necessary in a computerised environment.
These Guidelines can now be purchased on CD-ROM, enabling the modified and updated
control matrices to be tailored for local application. The CD-ROM purchase price
includes a licence for the user to network the Guidelines throughout the purchasing
organisation.
