Opleiding: Master Audit of IT General & Application Controls

An advanced course for experienced auditors and assurance professionals who want to deepen their expertise in auditing IT General Controls (ITGC) and Application Controls across complex environments. This program goes beyond the fundamentals, focusing on risk-based audit design, evidence evaluation, and the judgment required to deliver high-quality assurance in modern, hybrid, and cloud-enabled organizations. Participants will work through the full ITGC lifecycle, including access management, change management, computer operations, and system development, with attention to segregation of duties, privileged access, DevOps pipelines, and cloud-native services. The course then dives into Application Controls, covering input, processing, and output controls, interface and reconciliation controls, configurable controls in ERP systems, and the relationship between automated controls and key reports. Learners will also explore how ITGC and Application Controls underpin financial statement audits, SOX and SOC reporting, and frameworks such as COBIT, NIST, and ISO 27001. Through case studies and practical scenarios, participants will refine their ability to scope engagements, design effective test procedures, evaluate deficiencies, and communicate findings to both technical and executive audiences. Who it's for: Experienced internal and external auditors, IT auditors, SOX practitioners, and GRC professionals who want to advance from foundational knowledge to mastery of ITGC and Application Controls auditing. Format: In-depth, self-paced modules with case studies, sample workpapers, practical exercises, and a final assessment.
