Gain practical expertise in auditing the acquisition, development, and operational management of information systems. Learn to assess project governance, technology implementation, and operational resilience from an auditor's perspective.

This course covers the audit processes related to the acquisition, development, and ongoing operations of information systems. Learners will explore how to evaluate technology investments, project management controls, and system development life cycles, as well as how to audit cloud services, virtualization, and change management. The course also addresses the auditing of IT operations, including asset management, incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery. By completing this course, learners will be able to assess the effectiveness of controls throughout the system lifecycle and ensure operational reliability and resilience in IT environments. The course presents concepts through structured modules, using practical examples and case studies to illustrate audit challenges in system development and operations. Learners will deepen their understanding through scenario-based content and targeted quizzes that reinforce critical auditing skills. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
