IT general controls (ITGC) audit.

We assess IT general controls over access, change management and IT operations: the controls that financial statement auditors rely on.

01 — Overview

Controls your auditors can rely on, with the evidence ready.

External auditors rely on IT general controls when they audit financial statements. Weak ITGCs can mean more substantive testing, more audit effort and audit findings.

IT general controls (ITGCs) are the foundational controls that make the data in your business systems trustworthy: logical access, change management, program development and IT operations. External auditors rely on them, for example under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the US or the internal financial controls reporting required by the Companies Act, 2013 in India.

Why ITGC audit matters

  • Audit readiness Controls and evidence ready for financial statement auditors.
  • Reliable data Confidence in the systems behind your financial reports.
  • Less audit friction Clear evidence reduces back-and-forth with auditors.
  • Process discipline Consistent access and change management across teams.
