Technology now underpins financial reporting, operations, customer information and critical business processes, making effective IT controls an important part of the overall control environment. HLB AG conducts IT audits and IT General Controls (ITGC) reviews to assess whether technology systems, processes and controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively.

Our IT audit and ITGC services include:

• IT general controls assessments
• IT governance and risk reviews
• User access and privileged access controls
• Change management controls
• IT operations and system administration controls
• Backup, recovery and business continuity controls
• Data integrity and system reliability reviews
• Information security controls
• Application controls and system interfaces
• IT control gap assessments and remediation recommendations

HLB AG evaluates the technology control environment in the context of the organisation’s business processes and risk profile. Our work helps management identify control weaknesses, strengthen governance and improve the reliability, security and availability of systems and information. Where relevant, reviews can also be aligned with applicable Qatar cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements.
