Hi Mahisha,

Many, but not all, IT Audits are in support of financial audits. The goal
is to evaluate the risks presented by the IT Department's operations and any
potential impacts to the financial systems. In that role, the IT Auditors
should be working fairly closely with the financial auditors. That can be a
good entry path to the financial side, if that's your goal.

There are many other security, confidentiality, and compliance audits
performed by IT Auditors. They are less-related to financial processes.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Steve

Best Regards

Mahisha

Hi Steve ,

Thanks so much for your reply ; what would you advice to me ?
My goal is to enter in the financial/audit side but i exactly do not
know whether should i apply for this position or not ?
The position is IT internal Audior or should i go in for other
functions not related to audit ?

Thank you

Best Regards

Mahisha

Hi Mahisha,

Sorry...you need to make that decision for yourself. Based on the
information you have, what do you think would be most fulfilling? I would
answer that question for yourself and move in that direction.

Best of luck...
