IT Auditing is an interdisciplinary field which requires understanding audit, control, technology and security concepts in accordance with audit standards, guidelines, and best practices. Thus, IT Auditing requires interdisciplinary knowledge across IT and Accounting/Auditing domains. With increasing use of IT in business processes, the demand for IT Auditors is increasing rapidly, offering a lucrative career path. Acquiring IT Audit related knowledge and skills will help our students improve their career opportunities by exploring this growing field..

The goals of the project were to develop interdisciplinary Information Technology (IT) Auditing teaching modules, to be integrated into courses offered by both Business and Information Technology disciplines.
