The IT audit profession is changing and evolving, and the IT auditor must change and evolve with it. The next generation of audit emphasizes looking toward the future rather than only examining the past. Auditors must be able to leverage the power of new tools and capabilities, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA) and data analytics. The ISACA Journal, volume 6, 2019, includes articles about the impact of these new technologies and what this impact means to the IT auditor.
The Journal volume features articles explaining how AI will enhance but not replace the audit profession, exploring how RPA is becoming common practice and describing how data analytics influence the world of audit. Additionally, this issue features new “Information Security Matters,” “Innovation Governance,” “The Practical Aspect” and “IS Audit Basics” columns.
