ACTIVITY 1-AUDT2

1. Define Information System Audit

- The controls inside an entity's information technology infrastructure are
examined during an information system audit. These audits can be combined
with a financial statement audit, internal audit, or other type of attestation activity.
It's the process of gathering and analyzing evidence about a company's
information systems, processes, and operations. The use of obtained evidence
can help determine whether an organization's information systems are protecting
assets, maintaining data integrity, and performing effectively and efficiently to
meet the organization's goals and objectives.

2. Give the 5 described features of data and the definition

Accuracy
Data should be accurate. Inaccurate data may lead to wrong decisions and
thereby hindering the business development process.

Confidentiality
Information should not lose its confidentiality. It should be protected from being
read or copied by anyone who is not authorized to do so.

Completeness
Data should be complete

Reliability
Data should be reliable because all business decision are taken on the basis of
the current database.

Efficiency
The ratio of the output to the input is known as efficiency. If output is more with
the same or less actual input, system efficiency is achieved, or else system is inefficient.
If computerization results in the degradation of efficiency, the effort for making the
process automated stands defeated. IS auditors are responsible to examine how
efficient the application in relation to the users and workload.
