Relying on a system control 1841



  • Do effective IT controls negate the need for IT dependent manual controls? As example, we have a control that reads, ‘System automatically calculates depreciation on subledger assets’. If the system can be tested to confirm it is configured properly and will therefore calculate depreciation correctly, is there a need for a detective control that would entail the review of the system produced information?
    Thanks.
