Course Description

This course is for beginners that are interested in a career in IT Audit, Compliance, Governance, Risk and Controls (GRC), or Cybersecurity.  This course teaches the foundational principles that are needed for a successful career in the IT Audit and Compliance field.

This is a beginner level course for those that are new to IT Audit. However, the course is also valuable for those looking to refresh their basic knowledge about IT Audits. This course is not for those that do not need a foundational knowledge/refresher of IT Audits. See link in my profile for more information on other courses.

This course teaches the practical aspects of conducting IT audits and is not focused on the CISA certification. CISA aspirants can still benefit from taking this course because they will learn and better understand basic IT Audit concepts in preparation for the exam.

I help professionals start careers in IT with a focus in IT/Cybersecurity Audit and Compliance.

This is the best IT Audit lecture I have listened to because it's concise, straight to the point, and always explains why the controls are in place, not just what they are. Thank you, Peju, for this.

By Simone Brodt on 3/4/2025

It was a great and straightforward summary of basic framework for IT Audit. The introduction to controls and overview of Why and How was very simple and easy to understand for a non-IT professional.

By Ricardo Alves on 2/6/2025

I am doing this course to remember important details of itgc, and so far it seems to me that the course is covering enough details on a simple way, what makes it perfect to any professional level.

This course very well explains Fundamentals of IT audits and it is very well structured. I will suggest for this course for beginners. Only drawback of this course is that instructor could had shown some live examples to make it even better. Overall it was been a very good course.

By Anonymized User on 3/1/2023

Hopefully, this course may attach with the handouts for revision. This course was vey nice. The author clearly presented key concept of Controls and Its audit. This build us solid and fundamental on IT audit.

By Ayotoluwa M on 9/7/2022

Good course! I guess I would like more, am hoping to learn a lot more. Basically, this course helped me understand a bit of the course in IT auditing that I am talking. Its almost a refresher, or quick teaching for anyone who doesn't know anything about IT Auditing. If you are intimidated by the barrage of information that may come your way from IT auditing, then take this course, its simple and easy to follow. Not too long which I am grateful for.

By Dino Balovca on 8/30/2022

Had a lot of foundational information. Not too much in depth real world/use case examples, but all foundational theory in place. Course did what it promised to do. Pace is okay, could be a bit more interactive. Overall good job.

By Anonymized User on 3/15/2022

Excellent starter course to tie together basic understanding of IT Controls and how the auditor approaches their testing and feedback. Good pacing, very clear instruction. Thank you!
