Through an IT auditor’s efforts, audit findings are facts generated which directly support and evidence conclusions as well as recommendations. Audit findings are also the product of all previously performed audit work related to the audit area under examination. Each finding form should be reviewed by an IT auditor for accurate as well as factual: criteria, condition, cause, possible effect(s) and recommendation(s).
