This course provides a practical and professionally structured introduction to IT Application Controls (ITACs) and how they are tested in modern financial audits. In today's highly system-driven business environment, almost every financial statement number is generated, processed, and reported through enterprise applications such as SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, and other ERP platforms. As a result, auditors no longer rely only on manual checks - they rely on IT Application Controls to gain assurance over the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of financial data.
This course is designed to give learners a clear and structured understanding of how ITACs operate within business processes and how they support SOX and Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) requirements. You will learn how IT Application Controls fit into the broader audit framework, how they interact with IT General Controls (ITGCs), and why auditors place such heavy reliance on automated system controls when forming audit conclusions.
The course focuses on the six core categories of IT Application Controls that are actually tested in professional audits: authorization controls, validation controls, interface controls, report controls, calculation controls, and reconciliation controls. Using a transaction-flow approach, you will see how data moves from master data through transaction processing and reporting, and where control points exist at each stage. This framework mirrors how Big-4 audit teams identify, assess, and test ITACs during real engagements.
In addition, the course explains how auditors perform walkthroughs, identify key controls, and link ITACs to financial statement assertions such as accuracy, completeness, and authorization. You will also learn the three primary testing techniques used in practice - re-performance, configuration review, and data-based testing - and how auditors evaluate evidence to determine whether controls are operating effectively.
By the end of this course, learners will not only understand what ITACs are, but also how they are used in real audits to support reliance on system-generated financial information and to form audit opinions under SOX and ICFR frameworks. Who this course is for
■ Audit associates and professionals working in external or internal audit
■ CA, CPA, ACCA, and other accounting or finance students
■ Professionals involved in SOX, ICFR, or financial reporting
■ MB A students specializing in finance, accounting, or risk management
■ ERP and business system users (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, etc.) who want to understand audit controls
■ Anyone who wants to learn how IT Application Controls (ITACs) are tested in real Big-4 style audits
