GAIT Scoping ExampleFor financial reporting, the scope of IT control testing has three primary axes:• What business processes are in scope?• Which business processes are relevant to financial reporting (e.g., materiality)?• How significant is the business process to the financial reporting objective?• What other transactional controls exist that may create assurance of the
business process integrity (e.g., manual settlement and balancing)?Example: 10 revenue generating systems; external auditors won’t look at all 10, but
will concentrate on the 3 that compose 85%.• For those business processes in scope, what IT assets are considered relevant to
financial reporting (e.g., distance and percentage of controls embedded in IT)?Example: 10 revenue generating systems; external auditors won’t look at all 10, but
will concentrate on the 3 that compose 85% of the overall revenues.• What level of controls evaluation and testing is required to create sufficient
assurance for management to make the assertions related to IT change and IT entitlements transactions (e.g., completeness, accuracy, etc.)?
• What are the types of controls in place? The level of assurance goes from highest to lowest, in the following order:
• automated and preventive• automated and detective: • manual and preventive• manual and detective
