What Is Truth to Power?

dedicated to bridging the gaps between governance and practice, technology and business, regulation and control, risk management and real market pressures, and your own knowledge and the knowledge of your peers.

built to create a common pool of knowledge—one big brain—that lets you work more efficiently, build technology and business practices more effectively, and endure audits more effortlessly.

a neutral hub through which you can reach many valuable information nodes, resource collections, and organizations that are helping people like you already, but in fractured ways.

against the idea that auditors, analysts, and consultancies can control information simply through their ability to collect and distill it. T2P's goal is to unlock the vast body of knowledge, insight, and conventional wisdom that we all have, make it freely available to you, and help you digest and interpret it—without undue cost, bias, or hype.

IT Audit Checklists

IT Audit Checklists are a T2P members-only resource. Originally published by the IT Compliance Institute, the checklists offer practical guidance and experience-based insight to help IT, compliance, and business managers prepare for more successful and productive internal audits.

In addition to helping you understand what auditors look for and why, IT Audit Checklists support proactive operational self assessments. By measuring your internal processes against the managerial, operational, and technical control objectives in these papers, you can uncover new opportunities for system and process improvements—and address them in advance of an actual audit.

Process Capability As a Six Sigma Blackbelt, I can see that a check list based approach to the Audit Process could improve its quality and consistence by following the first two stages of a Six Sigma Process: Define and Measure.

Still, there does not seem to be described any Analytical measures of the test effectiveness of these lists for me to consider when evaluating the worth of a testing approach in furtherance of good Audit Process improvement or quality improvement approaches to client processes to be measured.

Is it possible to attest to any of the false positive or false negative experiences of Auditors while using such defined tests lists? (A strange question I know, but useful for the adopting of Quality Audit Process Testing Procedures.)
