Information systems power the financial and operational integrity of an organisation, making information a strategic resource. An information technology (I.T) audit is an examination of the management controls within an information technology infrastructure so we can determine if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and operating effectively to achieve the organisation’s goals or objectives. 

Maine’s team of audit experts can help you navigate the complexities and provide you with robust independent assurance that your IT risks, key management priorities and core systems are being appropriately managed, and we are able to perform these reviews in conjunction with a financial statement audit or internal audit, for your convenience.
