RE: Experience with doing IT Audits

Jim, You just hit the "bingo", that is the power of the auditors, its something that Upper Management can't turn a blind eye to, or they will be found negligent and if something bad happens and it goes to court, you are covered and they are serious in hot water. (Failure of due care and due
