Auditing Journal Entry Controls in ERP Systems


Auditing today’s IT environment necessitates a thorough understanding of how activities can be designed and secured. To help organizations meet this obligation, Jeff Hare, CPA CIA CISA discusses a variety of pertinent concerns. In this course, we explore examples of control design and learn why it is necessary to understand how a unique system works. We take a close look at a sample internal control questionnaire, the risk library, and control design considerations for auditing journal Entries. In addition to the helpful insight provided, two hours of CPE credit will be awarded upon completion of the class.
