Information technology (IT) continues to change how organizations function, communicate, and conduct business with customers, allies, and agents. Directors, audit committees, management, and stakeholders increasingly expect their auditors to be proficient in the use of technology to develop a thorough understanding of the control environment. Internal audit response requires understanding future audit processes and continuous auditing techniques, such as better use of interrogation software and intelligent software agents that provide pattern-recognition models to identify risks. Impact on internal audit processes and methodologies will be revolutionary.
