Findings – The study concluded that the role of IS Auditors in lessening in applications and infrastructures Audits and is strengthening in the arena of IT management Audits. Practical implications – The implication of study for IS Audit practitioners is that they need to be better equipped to conduct IT management Audits and to contribute value to their organization as part of IT governance endeavors rather than focusing on infrastructure and application Audits. On the other hand, the implication for management is that they should be aware of the capabilities of IS Audit and set their biggest value expectations in the area of IT management assurance and governance. Originality/value – The paper makes a contribution by identifying change factors within the various elements of the IS Audit Universe aiming to give practitioners insight about the state of the profession and its future directions.Information systems, Internal Auditing, United Arab Emirates

Social media policy in South Africa
Southern African Journal of Accountability and Auditing Research, 2014Co-Authors: Gilchrist F. Mushwana, Hannes C. BezuidenhoutAbstract:Social media use is a growing trend worldwide. It is viewed as a revolution in electronic communications and an effective business marketing tool. Despite the business benefits, social media is viewed as a risk within organisations. This study examines the perceptions of CAEs (Chief Audit Executives) on the state of development and implementation of social media policies in companies in South Africa. The study reveals that even though social media is perceived to be a risk, most of the organisations surveyed have not implemented a social media policy. This might be because social media policies are not perceived to be effective, or because social media is classified as a lower priority risk within the organisations. The study reveals that social media is not part of the internal Audit Universe in most organisations, supporting two perceptions: that it might be viewed as a lesser risk; and that the organisations and internal Audit functions have not yet fully understood the nature and potential negative impact social media usage can have on business.
