IT Application Controls Walkthrough Procedures and Inquiry 2971
-
Hello, if you were to write up an IT Application Controls Walkthrough Policy from scratch - what are some general questions for inquiry
or observation would you write up, to ask the process owner, during your Walkthrough? Here are some that I have come up with so far, but I need about 3 or 4 more effective one’s.
’ Ask questions about their current understanding of the application controls
’ Inquire with process owners about any new applications controls and procedures which may have been added recently, or that have not been documented yet
’ Inquire with process owners as to the accuracy of the wording of the controls, as well as their understanding of how the control works, and the expected output of results
’ Is the process owner aware of how the output is used as a result of the execution of the application control in question?
 Has the process owner ever seen any exception or issue with this application control?
 Is the application control subject to management override?
 Is the application control more preventive or detective?
 Does the application control produce expected results in the system?
 Has there ever been an instance of the control working incorrectly?
o If an error was identified, how was it resolved?
Thanks for any help…
