What does an IT auditor do?

An information technology auditor, or IT auditor, analyzes an organization’s information systems to make improvements. An IT auditor spends a lot of time reviewing company policies, procedures, and internal controls. Unlike a general auditor, an IT auditor focuses solely on auditing information systems, so they must be well-versed in information technology and computer systems. The findings of an IT auditor may be used to select new systems, design software, change technology policies, or reallocate funding. An IT auditor may work with internal or external clients to provide technical support, handle complaints, or gather feedback about current processes and systems.
