Abstract
TO ASSESS THE SOFTWARE USAGE TRENDS OF INTERNAL auditors worldwide, Internal Auditor recently conducted an electronic poll of approximately 2,700 randomly selected IIA members. Of these individuals, 364 responded from Germany, Kuwait, Mexico, Canada, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Syria, Trinidad, Columbia, Luxembourg, Panama, and the United States. The survey participants indicated how and to what extent their internal audit shops are using software for data extraction and analysis, fraud detection, network security assessment, workpaper automation, e-commerce security, internal control evaluation, and continuous monitoring. The survey results provide an overview of the products internal auditors are using and how they rate their experiences with the latest software options.
