Overview

Application controls are controls that we have implemented over our application systems to ensure they operate as intended and ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data, calculations and records. In this session, we will consider the types of these controls and the approaches we can use to audit them. 

This is the third in a series of seven webinars about de-mystifying IT audit. The remaining webinars in this series will cover infrastructure audit review, integrating IT audit into the business audit, how to audit cyber security, and General Data Privacy Regulations.
