IT Audit

An IT audit ensures that all schools operate effectively and efficiently, in terms of systems, practices and operation.

Audits should include:

1. The organisation of the computer function
2. All computer hardware and software
3. Applications per computer
4. Information on implementation of new applications or revision to existing applications

IT Audits are a vital element of a successful IT strategy. However, without the correct solution, they can be labour intensive and highly time consuming. Inaccurate audit information can increase the risk of software compliancy issues, result in under used software and also inaccurate procurement decisions. A lack of planning and replacement strategy decisions can result in high support costs for schools.
