Financial Audit:

A historically oriented, independent evaluation performed for the purpose of attesting to the fairness, accuracy, and reliability of financial data. This kind of audit is generally performed by an independent CPA Firm.

Operational Audit:

A future-oriented, systematic, and independent evaluation of organizational activities. Financial data may be used, but the primary sources of evidence are the operational policies and achievements related to organizational objectives.

Department/Program Review:

A current period analysis of administrative functions common to all operating units, to evaluate the adequacy of controls, safeguarding of assets, efficient use of resources, and integrity of financial information.

Information Systems (IS) Audit:

There are three basic kinds of IS Audits that may be performed:

1. General Controls Review:
A review of the controls which govern the development, operation, maintenance, and security of application systems in a particular environment. This type of audit might involve reviewing a data center, an operating system, a security software tool, or processes and procedures (such as the procedure for controlling production program changes), etc.

2. Application Controls Review:
A review of controls for a specific application system. This would involve an examination of the controls over the input, processing, and output of system data. Data communications issues, program and data security, systems change control, and data quality issues are also considered.

3. System Development Review:
A review of the development of a new application system. This involves an evaluation of the development process as well as the product. Consideration is also given to the general controls over a new application, particularly if a new operating environment or technical platform will be used.

Integrated Audit:

This is a combination of an operational audit, department review, and IS audit - application controls review. This type of review allows for a very comprehensive examination of a functional operation within the Organization.
