| | Computer audit FAQ |
| | Computer auditing is also known as IS, IT or ICT auditing and systems auditing. | | | However, the value of an audit is emphatically NOT a function of the amount of material generated. | | | The audit manager/reviewer looks at the evidence, discounts much of the auditor’s analysis due to their ‘inexperience’ and (in the back of his mind) rewrites the audit report in his/her own inimitable style. |

| | Since audit quality is unobservable, researchers look at surrogates or indicators of audit quality, such as the opinions of experts, to determine the inputs and outputs of a quality audit. | | | Audit quality-control procedures attempt to maintain high standards of control over the process of an audit, but an audit failure usually becomes known in the context of a business failure. | | | The factors of audit pricing, tenure, and providing other services are theorized to affect not only independence, but also the audit team’s ability to detect financial statement misstatements. |
