Details: IT Internal Auditing for many companies is often overlooked and underutilized. As technology continues to provide the solutions for broader business issues, a risk intelligent IT Internal Audit department can effectively protect existing assets but also identify and stimulate strategic risk-taking for reward. This new Deloitte white paper offers a framework for engaging the IT Internal Auditing function and elevating its risk intelligent capabilities to benefit the organization.

Sarah Adams, national IT Internal Audit leader for Deloitte, says, "IT Internal Auditing is not just about computer systems. It's about understanding broader business issues. It's about forging connections between these issues and the technology that can help address them. It's about taking a 'Risk Intelligent' approach that not only seeks to mitigate risks to existing assets but also encourages appropriate, calculated risk taking for reward."

Adams is available for commentary and further discussion about Deloitte's Risk Intelligent IT Internal Audit point of view.
