MGMT 416 Information Systems Control and Audit
(Class 3 Cr. 3)
Prerequisite:  MGMT 311
 

The study of information systems (IS) control and audit.  IS auditing assesses whether computer systems safeguard assets, maintain data integrity, and facilitate the implementation of the goals of the organization.  The reasons why companies control and audit computer systems, the nature and purposes of the information systems audit function, and the overall approach to a systems audit will be studied.

Impact on Students:

This is a change in name and description that reflects the current dynamics of this field of study.  Students taking this course are majors in Management Information Systems.

Impact on Other Academic Units:

This course will continue to be cycled into the MIS elective offerings for the MIS majors.  Past enrollment has been entirely management students and this is not expected to change.
