As a critical component in almost every organization, Information Technology may provide services that allow the organization to function and in many cases allow the organization to achieve a competitive advantage. As technology costs and functionality rise, many organizations risk losing the perspective needed to ensure that their investment in technology is appropriate and well spent. This chapter discusses some auditing techniques that may help any organization to test their IT functions to make sure that the outcomes are appropriate given the costs of technology. After discussing the background of IT audits, several functional areas are discussed with example goals and suggestions for evaluating IT functions.
