Documentation is a shortfall of many IT environments. The IT Audit discipline cannot allow this to be the case in their environment, as management may enquire on what:
Progress has been made in achieving the annual audit plan; and
Detailed explanations of audit findings.
Thus the auditor must have the skills of documenting all that they have done efficiently, effectively, completely and timeously.
Sometimes, in the event of neglect of duties or fraud, the IT auditor may be called on the present evidence a disciplinary hearing or in court. This may be months after the original findings were made, thus the documentation needs to be sufficiently detailed and complete for the auditor to do so, with complete assurance of his facts.
