IT-audit is a way of assessing the risks associated with use of computer hardware and other software and hardware systems, as well as work on developing techniques and methods for protection of information technology. For banks IT-audit is an extremely important element, since there is not a single transaction in a bank that would be carried out without a computer. If a bank does not deal with IT-audit it has nothing to do on the banking market.

Fortunately, banks are concerned about their security and usually they do not have problems in the area of ​​information technology. This is proved by significant reduction in bank theft statistics with the use of computer technology. Today even experienced hackers prefer to steal directly from customers, not from banks. It is difficult to achieve such effect, but it is even more difficult to maintain the set security level, because every day lots of new viruses and ways to steal money from customers’ accounts are created. This is why IT-audit is one of the most promising areas of activity.

As a result of quality audit the bank management receives a detailed report on how the bank's information systems meet modern safety requirements. In parallel, the auditors suggest ways and means to address the problems identified. In addition, IT-audit is designed to assess the effectiveness of banking information systems from the view point of the bank employees. This means that not only the level of information systems security is measured, but also their effectiveness in meeting the set objectives.

It should be specially noted that IT-audit experts are in high demand; therefore, it is a real problem to find a good IT-auditor. The company that is engaged in providing such services should be staffed with programmers with knowledge of banking. Only in this case the audit will be complete, comprehensive and objective.
