I am a person with very little knowledge and experience in the IT audit field. Reading this book was fun and explained difficult concepts that require much experience in simple terms.
I recommend this book to future IT audit professionals and those who would like to learn more about the field. The concepts it presents provide a "solid" foundation. Buy this book. It's essential!
A Definite Must-Have December 13, 2005

I had a very limited knowledge regarding the field of IT audit and control until I got a copy of this book. It is a the IT auditor's guide to the world of auditing and control. This book is written in a way that is easy to understand and easy to remember thanks to the very knowledgeable and experienced authors and professionals in the industry. The end-of-chapter questions and cases are great as it helped me to test and apply the knowledge gained from reading through the chapters. If IT audit and control is your field of interest, then this book is a definite must-have.

This is the greatest book for preparing for the CISA exam. It's written by four very knowledable IT audit professionals. This book covers everything inside the IT audit and security world.
Thanks Professor Gallegos for using this in our class.

As an incoming IS Audit student, and future professional, this book was instrumental in teaching the core concepts of what IS auditing is about. This book covers many topics and gives a general overview of various IT topics, from controls to telecommunications, to application control, etc. If you are looking for a book for specifics on how to do an IT audit, this will not cover it too deeply. This is more of a overview of the IS audit field and what to expect if one is going into this career. Overall a great solid book.
All over coverage of IT control and auditing areas!! December 8, 2005

As a student who decided to rush into IT control and auditing field, I felt so lucky that i could use this book as my textbook in studying. If you are wandering around many IT auditing books here, I, from the bottom of my heart, positively suggest you choose such a wonderful, understandable book as a friendly partner with you along your future study, career development, or even teaching students. Following is personal conclusions on this book:
1. It is so understandable for entry students or entrence level employees who are doing IT auditing jobs. Reading such a book makes you feel that you are just listening to a class on the spot, so at any time when you have questions, you will so quickly get the answers while you read it.
2. I read some books about IT auditing, but never find a book covering as many areas or topics as this book does. It not only teachs you IT controls and auditings methods and theories, but also gives you detailed directions and genial suggestions on your future career development in IT auditing.
3. There are a lot of references in the book, which will be very helpful for you to search any more recources in studying or working. Both technical or legal recources are provided.
4. It so updated in current auditing field. This is second edition in 2004.
5. The review questions after each chapter are also helpful for readers to refresh memories and in-depth understand the contents.
All in all, this book is knowledgeable, understandable, and updated in IT control and auditing areas.
I hope my review on this book will give you a hand on selecting textbooks.
