January Education Seminar

This seminar will give participants the knowledge necessary to understand and effectively evaluate controls in an information processing environment. It will outline and define basic technical concepts, and provide a risk-based approach for ensuring that adequate controls have been implemented. The seminar will incorporate guidance contained in leading industry standards, most notably the Control Objectives for Information Technology (COBIT), the Federal Information Systems Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM), and ISO 17799. It will begin at a very basic level and slowly progress into more complex technology issues that are prevalent in today’s information processing environments. The seminar will consist of modules that address the core areas of IT risk. Each module will explain the objectives, risks, key controls, and primary audit procedures that can be used. You will leave this seminar with a solid knowledge of key technology concepts, and the foundation needed to audit these technologies and processes effectively.
