What ACCT 432 covers
Hall's Information Technology Auditing is read one or two chapters a module/week with a presentation, and an individual project applies each week's chapters to a mini-case, from IT governance in Module/Week 1 to ERP systems and fraud in Module/Week 8.
Forum threads run 300 words with at least three scholarly citations, the textbook among the acceptable sources, and each of two replies runs 250 words with at least one scholarly citation. The group faith integration project is a single essay of at least 1,000 words posted to the forum, and the two Audit Command Language assignments give hands-on practice with audit software.
This course provides the theory and application of auditing through the use of information systems. Topics include: authoritative information technology control frameworks; computer security; continuous auditing; and audit approaches to new and emerging technologies.

Where ACCT 432 papers lose points
ACCT 432 work loses points when forum threads carry fewer than three scholarly citations, when individual projects name controls without tying each to the risk it addresses and the test that would prove it works, when audit tests are described too vaguely to perform and when group members leave the faith integration essay to others, which the syllabus grades as zero.
Using a ACCT 432 sample well
Each sample uses a composite organization so that controls, risks and audit procedures can be named precisely, the way an IT auditor documents them. The forum samples draw on research about IT control weaknesses, security breaches and continuous auditing, and the project samples follow the structure of Hall's end-of-chapter cases.
