Review of IT general controls (ITGC)

A review of IT general controls (ITGC) evaluates the effectiveness of a client's control environment for key IT processes that ensure information systems functionality. It identifies deficiencies and helps build an efficient internal control to ensure information reliability and security.

FBK experts address these key challenges:

  • unformalised IT processes requiring specific recommendations to enhance IC maturity;
  • unauthorised or non-compliant system changes needing risk mitigation strategies against future unauthorised modifications;
  • data breaches requiring recommendations to prevent possible recurrence.
Key stages of the IT general controls (ITGC) review:
  • Collection and processing of information on the current internal control (IC). The stage involves employee interviews, reviews of internal documents and implemented IT controls, and testing of their actual operation through sample cases.
  • Identifying risks followed by their prioritisation, evaluation, and analysis. FBK experts will provide a client-confirmed review of core IT processes including change management, access control, going concern, and related subprocesses.
  • Assessing IC components against global standards and best practices, considering organisational size, specialisation, structure, industry, etc.
  • Developing recommendations to enhance control environment reliability and efficiency.
Upon completion of the service, the client receives:
  • Report detailing identified deficiencies and associated risks.
  • Defined objectives and action areas for necessary IT changes.
  • Recommendations to enhance the IC and mitigate IT-related risks.
  • Improved business reliability, transparency, and investment appeal.
  • Reduced emergency risks and unforeseen expenses.
  • Lowered data breach risks and strengthened stakeholder and regulator trust.
