Avoiding Costly Audit Deficiencies

Using a pre-audit assessment to fix problems before your auditor shows up

An audit is a bad time to find out you've got control deficiencies. Important projects get set aside; costs go up; and jobs hang in the balance. Yet, in spite of the consequences, auditors commonly find these control deficiencies:

• Lack of access controls
• Excessive access to systems and databases
• Improper change management
• Inadequate segregation of duties
• Lack of self-assessment process

In this white paper, we'll show you how investing in a pre-audit assessment will let you know where you stand before your next audit. We'll go over the key controls you should have in place, automated methods for determining the reliability of those controls, and how to generate automated reports validating those controls.

You will learn to:

• Use a pre-audit assessment to identify compliance gaps before an audit
• Generate effective reports for documenting controls and proving compliance
• Test the operational and design effectiveness of your controls
• Use automated tools to determine control weaknesses in your environment
