Information systems (IS) are valuable assets to businesses and are present in our daily lives.

With the latest IS technologies such as Big Data, FinTech, and Virtual Banks emerging, the public is becoming more concerned about how firms maintain system integrity, such as data privacy, information security, and compliance with government requirements. Organizational management must also be confident that systems perform as planned. IT auditors play a critical role in dealing with these concerns.

it was really helpful for me I've achieved many important tips in this course program, I have understood data validation and the many kinds of checks like sequence check, limit check, limit check, range check, validity check, completeness check, duplicate and many more tips that were really useful for me and help full for my future education and acknowledgment and here I want to thanks from Hong kong university that enrolled me to this program and I could earn the knowledge

The course was very helpful, easy to learn but requires to give enough time,

It was a perfect match with my background education, it was just like unbelievable to be with Prof. Dias, good ideas, well prepared explanation and the last part about fintech was absolutely fantastic.

Behind every successful business, there is a strong IT Auditor/Advisor, stated by me @thx to Prof. Dias@Information Systems Auditing, Controls and Assurance.

Very well explained on IS Audit by Prof. Dias. What I loved about the course is it has given me a better understanding about the purpose of undertaking IS Audit. Not only exams are aligned to real life scenarios, but they give insights about various concepts and terminologies for better understanding of all tasks done relating to IS audit. Be it different controls or change management.

Thank you, professor for all the insights.

The course is a brilliant starter course for someone who wants to know what is IT/IS Auditing and understand the basics/foundation of the terms that are used in the same. It also has description on SDLC, which could have been reduced and instead can put more on Controls and Audits examples. But overall its a great course and can be definitely opted if you want to get into Information Systems Auditing and Assurance.

Well-run course. Allows you to understand the basic principles of IS auditing. Very useful. Very well put together, clear course. Relevant exercises. Good distribution of points. Interesting, on the other hand a little too much material. Very well presented, PowerPoint helps to assimilate the material. Before class I was not particularly motivated and I found myself really enjoying the course.

The information System (IS) Auditing, Control and Assurance course has provided me a better understanding about the role of IS auditor. This short course equips me with basic knowledge on IS Audit: role of IS auditor, risks in IS, how to mitigate risks by proper IS control, how to maintain and improve system’s integrity, efficacy and effectiveness to achieve the organisation's goals.

This course serves as an appropriate primer to someone who wants to learn about IS audit. I have learned a lot from this course. The topics are well discussed by Prof. Dias, with detailed explanations and very good examples that even a person without an IT background can understand. I would to thank The Hongkong University for putting this one up. More power also to Prof Dias! =)

Overall, based on the questions provided, the course seems to offer valuable insights into IS auditing, system development, change management, and system maintenance practices. It covers essential concepts and challenges faced in the field, making it relevant and beneficial for individuals working or interested in the IT auditing and system development domains.

It's an excellent beginner level course. Looking forward to more advanced level course in IS auditing. It will be great to have a course with some case studies of a few industries, taking the students through the whole audit process from start to finish which includes the current technologies used in auditing, generating audit reports and recommendations, etc.

A really great course to kickstart your career in the field of IS/IT Auditing. Even for learning and just for the sake of up-skilling, this course is highly recommended. Request you to please put in Sarbanes Oxley Compliance with IS/IT Auditing to provide the learners gain better insights about the SOX Compliance and IS Auditing. Overall, a great experience.
