Independent assurance over the systems your business runs on.
Your financial statements are only as reliable as the systems that produce them. An information system audit independently reviews the IT general controls — access, change management, backups — that sit underneath your financial and operational data.
It's the audit most businesses don't think about until an access issue or data loss event forces the question. We'd rather find the gap first.
Scope an IS AuditEvery finding is rated by its real operational and financial impact.
The controls that sit underneath every system your business depends on.
User provisioning, de-provisioning and privileged access reviewed against policy.
How changes to systems and applications are approved, tested and deployed.
Backup frequency, retention and recovery testing verified, not just assumed.
Database access, encryption and integrity controls reviewed.
Whether documented IT policies actually match how systems are run.
IT risk introduced by outsourced systems, hosting and SaaS vendors.
Every finding in your report is rated, explained in plain language, and paired with a specific fix.
Below is an illustrative example of how a single finding is presented.
12 user accounts held administrative privileges on the core financial system, well beyond the number of users whose roles required it.
Illustrative example only — for demonstration of report format, not an actual finding from a client engagement.
The same structured review, whatever systems are in scope.
Confirm which systems and controls are in scope for this audit cycle.
Understand how each control is actually meant to operate.
Test whether controls operate as designed, using samples and evidence.
Identify and rate gaps by their real operational and financial risk.
Deliver a rated report with clear, actionable remediation steps.
IS audit findings are often mapped to these standards, depending on your sector.
A statutory audit examines financial statements. An information system audit examines the IT controls behind the systems that produce those numbers — a different, complementary scope.
Even small businesses depend on core systems — accounting software, payment gateways, cloud storage — where a control gap can cause real damage. Scope is adjusted to your size.
Annually is common, though high-change environments or regulated entities may need it more frequently.
Not by default — IS audit focuses on control design and operation. VAPT can be scoped alongside it if you need active testing too.
Yes — IT general control weaknesses are often relevant to a statutory auditor's risk assessment, and we can coordinate with your auditor if useful.
