ISACA RELEASES NEW IT ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK

To meet the need for clear guidance for IT controls, ISACA has created this comprehensive assurance model incorporating standards and best practices. ITAF provides a single source through which IT audit and assurance professionals can seek guidance, research policies and procedures, obtain audit and assurance programs, and develop effective reports. The framework also:

  • Provides guidance on the design, conduct and reporting of IT audit and assurance assignments;

  • Defines terms and concepts specific to IT assurance; and

  • Establishes standards, guidelines, and tools and techniques that address IT audit and assurance professional roles and responsibilities, knowledge and skills, diligence, conduct and reporting requirements.

The current version of ITAF incorporates ISACA’s IS Auditing Standards and Guidelines and allows for new guidance to be properly indexed as it is developed and issued. It is designed to be a living document to enable relevant tools, techniques, white papers and publications to be placed with the framework.
ITAF is applicable to any formal audit or assessment engagement. Its design recognizes that IT assurance professionals are faced with different requirements and different types of audit and assurance assignments—ranging from leading an IT-focused audit to contributing to a financial or operational audit.

ISACA is pleased to be able to offer ITAF to ISACA members as a complimentary PDF download from the ISACA web site. It can be purchased by nonmembers for US $45.
