Businesses fail to put rolling IT internal audit plans in place, finds KPMG survey
13.05.2009Company: KPMG Česká republika, s.r.o.
KPMG’s IT internal audit survey has found that only 16 per cent of respondents have a rolling or quarterly planning processes in place, and a quarter of respondents don’t use a planning framework at all, which can leave the IT audit vulnerable and allow core business risks to go unaddressed by management.
KPMG’s survey of 297 finance professionals across Europe (including the Czech Republic), the Middle East and Africa, one of the largest completed, identifies current trends in IT internal audit practices, in association with the Information Systems Audit and Control Association.
The survey also found that over three quarters of respondents (78 per cent) undertake their audit planning on an annual basis only. In an environment where technology is a vital part of a businesses’ make-up, and the opportunity for deliberate sabotage is high, the need for a more regular review of plans has never been greater.
