IT Audit & Controls Assurance

Before an external auditor or examiner relies on your IT general controls, you should know whether they work. We test access management, change management, IT operations, and backup and recovery the way an external auditor would, and we help you design user access reviews that can withstand testing.

Questions

Common questions.

ITGCs are the foundational controls over systems that support financial reporting and critical operations, typically covering access management, change management, IT operations, and backup and recovery. Auditors rely on them before trusting any automated control.

No. External auditors must remain independent. We provide internal testing, readiness, and co-sourced internal audit support so you go into the external audit knowing where you stand.

A recurring process where system owners confirm that each user’s access is still appropriate. We design the cadence, scope, evidence, and workflow so reviews are consistent, complete, and easy for auditors to test.
