    IT Audit for Governance 
    and Compliance

IT Audit as the Foundation for Informed Decisions

In today's business landscape, a high-performing, secure and compliant IT infrastructure is essential for success. At the same time, the demand for IT governance, compliance, information security, data protection and internal control systems is growing. It is essential that companies ensure their IT processes and systems reliably support business operations, effectively manage risks, and meet regulatory requirements.

The overview sets out the key auditing standards for assurance engagements other than statutory audits.

We support your company in evaluating IT projects, IT processes, software products, cloud services and outsourced business processes with our audit services, which are in accordance with IDW standards.

  • IDW PS 850 IT Project Audit
    Large IT projects, such as system implementations, migrations or digitalisation initiatives, involve significant investment and risk. We help you independently evaluate the organisation, management and control of projects, as well as risk management and budget control, through an audit in accordance with IDW PS 850. We identify weaknesses early on, provide transparency regarding project status and give management and supervisory bodies a solid foundation on which to make informed decisions and execute projects successfully.
     
  • IDW PS 860 Audit of IT Procedures and Processes
    Digital business processes depend on reliable IT systems and effective controls. As part of an IDW PS 860 audit, we assess the suitability of your IT-supported processes and controls for securely and compliantly supporting business objectives. To this end, we examine process flows, interfaces, authorisation management, and input, processing and output controls, among other things. The audit enhances the reliability of your processes and helps ensure compliance with governance, compliance and audit requirements.
     
  • IDW PS 880 Software Audit
    Companies and software providers benefit from an independent assessment of the quality and reliability of their applications. In accordance with IDW PS 880, we audit off-the-shelf software, industry-specific solutions and digital applications to ensure they are fit for purpose in terms of functionality, security, integrity and documentation. The resulting audit report helps to build trust among customers, business partners and regulatory authorities, and demonstrates that the software is fit for purpose.
     
  • IDW PS 951 Service Provider Audit
    An increasing number of companies are outsourcing business-critical processes and IT services to external providers. An audit in accordance with IDW PS 951 provides transparency regarding the effectiveness of the service provider’s internal control system (ICS). This involves assessing the relevant controls relating to risk management, control activities, communication and monitoring. The resulting report supports outsourcing management, facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and reduces the audit burden for clients and statutory auditors.
     
  • IDW PS 861 Cloud Audit
    Cloud solutions are a key part of modern IT systems. At the same time, the demand for information security, data protection, availability and compliance is growing. We evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of cloud service providers’ control and security measures in accordance with IDW PS 861. The audit provides transparency regarding relevant processes and controls, helps companies select and evaluate cloud providers, and improves compliance with outsourcing and risk management.
