Many companies choose to audit the appropriateness and security of their IT systems apart from the annual financial statement audit. The new auditing standard IDW PS 860 applies in this case.
It conforms to the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) “Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information,” and creates a uniform regulatory framework. Furthermore auditing practice statements have been developed for IDW PS 860, which provide further detail on how to apply the principles of the announcement in relation to auditing individual It-supported processes and procedures.
We complete our audit of your IT systems in accordance with IDW PS 860, meaning that we audit your IT systems or specific parts of the systems to ensure they comply with certain regulatory criteria. These may include industry-specific, internal company or statutory requirements. During the course of the audit, we document the principles, procedures and measures applied, and review whether these are effective and appropriate.
You receive verification that your IT systems conform to regulatory requirements, and fulfill applicable criteria. Of course, we also provide you with feedback on how you can optimize your internal processes.
