This is the second of a multi-part course series following the structure of my book Auditor’s Guide to IT Auditing which follows the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) Certified Information Systems Auditor qualification syllabus.
The whole series takes the aspiring IT auditor from the basics all the way through to advanced concepts and techniques for conducting professional IT audits.
Both the book and the courses have proven of major assistance to auditors for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) exam as well as Part 1 of the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
Part 2 of the series covers the risks within today’s information systems and the fundamental audit concepts together with the Standards and Guidelines for IT auditing. It also introduces auditors to Internal Control Concepts.
Prerequisites
No advanced preparation or prerequisites are required for this course, but completion of the other courses in this series will be helpful.
Learning Objective
- Identify the major risks inherent within today’s IT environment
- Identify the essential auditing concepts within IT
- Identify the recognized Standards and Guidelines for IT auditing
- Identify the Internal Control concepts essential to effective use of IT

Trainer Lynn Fountain does a good job defining the traits of an ethical leader in a corporate context.
I found the course to be interesting and the exam to be challenging. The professor was fun to watch and I will look for other of her classes.
It is a great course. However, needs to be updated as the statistics in Report to the Nations can vary at times.
Principles of Ethical Team Leadership is an important part of corporate culture. learning the fundamental principles will increase the value of the company and benefit everyone involved
It's hard to distill the entire history of ethical thought down into a 2 hour business course, but I give credit to the instructor for making the effort.
Great course, well structured and good content!!!!
The excitement of the content combined with the enthusiasm and insight of Mr. Wasny make this course, along with those he presents on AI, the most inspiring and motivational I've experienced on this platform.
Great course on ethical and regulatory considerations for remote employees. This will interest you!
Excellent course! I love how so much material is covered especially the case examples.
this course is a good consolidation of TPRM procedures and where the risk lies. The mitigating procedures are important to understand and will assist in acquisition and yearly maintenance on vendors.
An answer for an exam question is wrong. Like with part 1 the material on slides does not completely cover the exam questions.
This was a great course to introduce me to features of excel that I have never used to give me a great understanding of how they might be used in practical everyday applications of Excel.
I really appreciate the CPE surrounding IT risks. Hoping to see more about OT risks in the future ... given IT/OT convergence (standards are: 62443, Purdue and cross-reference to NIST). I am an IT/OT Third Party Risk Manager, and my focus is Operations Tech (large manufacturing). Thank you!
Great course covering many important concepts and history behind evolution of current accounting standards
Good overview of 2023 fraud trends and beyond, how account takeover happens, including the detection and prevention strategies for account takeover.

This is a high-level overview of how to organize data analytics efforts and sell these services to the business.

This appears to have been a presentation that was prepared for a different platform. There are some issues with how it transitioned to Illumeo.
This course provides a good understanding of fraudulent disbursements.
This course should be at least 1.5 CPE Credit since it is 1.5 hour long
One of the presentation sections was not included, but rather a repeat presentation of the previous section.
High level overview which is good, but I would appreciate accounting courses that were more detail. Illumeo appears to be lacking in government accounting courses.
