IT Audit Basics Columns

Welcome to the ISACA directory for the IT Audit Basics column of the Information Systems Control Journal. ISACA and the Journal have made the columns starting in 2002 available publicly to benefit all in the pursuit of education.

We have organized this directory by subject area index using the ISACA Model Curriculum for IS Assurance Professionals. Using the model as a subject matter guide will help you in identifying our related IT Audit Basics articles with the relevant areas of information need and education for this field. As the model is updated we will update this directory index as well. As editors, educators and practitioners in this field, we hope this column builds your understanding, knowledge, skills and abilities in this pioneering and dynamic field.

Note: Some areas of the Model Curricula have not yet been covered in the IT Audit Basics column. If there is a topic on which you would like to see more coverage, please e-mail publication@isaca.org.
