CAS IT Assurance

The Certificate of Advanced Studies in IT Assurance has been developed to provide participants with knowledge and skills to perform an information systems audit, which is an examination of the controls existing in an IT function and/or in the business applications of an organization either as part of Internal audit or as an external consultant. The evaluation of evidence obtained determines if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and operating effectively and efficiently to achieve the organization's objectives. At the end of the CAS the participants should be able to plan and conduct an audit or an assessment autonomously.
