M.Com. (Computer Auditing) / Intranets and related technology, can be used to solve many problems in the local computing environment. But the use of the Intranet and the related technology also raises several control concerns. Because of the increased use of Intranets within the business environment, the internal control related to the Intranet has become an issue that needs to be addressed by management and the auditor. Computerization in the accounting environment has made it virtually impossible to audit around the computer. It is therefore essential that the auditor, and more specifically the computer auditor, should assess the influence of the Intranet on the audit objectives. The objective of this short dissertation is to evaluate the influence of Intranet technology on the audit objectives (within the Intranet's different spheres of application) in terms of the risks posed for the auditor and management. It was also aimed at identifying the security risks in relationship with the audit objectives...

Desde la creación de las primeras computadoras, la necesidad por mejorar la interacción persona computador, se ha venido incrementando hasta convertirse en una disciplina. Desde entonces se ha venido desarrollando herramientas y técnicas que permitan mejorar la interacción entre persona y computador. Asimismo, el surgimiento de la World Wide Web, originó el desarrollo de distintos sistemas web que representan a las organizaciones ante diversos tipos de público. El presente proyecto pretende evaluar el sistema virtual de la PUCP, aplicando técnicas y herramientas que permitan evaluar la comunicabilidad y usabilidad, los mismos que han venido siendo aplicado en los últimos años por distintas empresas y organizaciones gubernamentales en todo el mundo. El resultado de esta investigación, no pretende dar las soluciones para resolver los problemas de diseño, sino dar soporte a los solucionadores de problemas en la generación de soluciones. / Tesis

The research recorded in this thesis tells the story of developing and implementing a user-centred intranet in the organisation where I work in a senior management position. My management support of the process led to adopting a networked model in our organisation, and also to my embracing the role of communications management.The organisation in which I work has a high rate of change and an entrepreneurial culture which is sometimes chaotic. This challenging environment was a good testing ground for the project, which sought to explore a number of propositions affirming the value of user-centred intranets.Developing and implementing the intranet encouraged collaboration amongst staff members. The intranet became a new channel of communication, which usefully enhanced the staff's ability to share and find out what was going on, who did what and how to contact them. My interventions as a manager, which occurred in parallel with the technological development of the intranet, led to spin-off organisational improvements such as an improved collaborative reporting system, the restructuring of the organisation manual files, and the establishment of a collaboratively-focussed full monthly staff meeting. Developing and implementing a user-centred intranet was a dynamic way to effect change in the organisation and orient it towards a networked organisational model, one which is communication rich, both collaborative and participative.The project was driven by my belief that a user-centred emphasis in intranet design is necessary in today's knowledge-based global economy, where there is a high rate of change. The networked organisational model should be embraced as a flexible model catering for change by promoting organic and dynamic networking within an organisation. This environment is communication-rich and collaborative, and a user-centred intranet is a communication channel well suited to support this model.A user-centred intranet should not be seen merely as an organisational artefact, but also as the a process of developing and implementing it will open up an organisation's culture, communication, and knowledge management in a participatory way. However, the degree that this will be achieved depends on a number of factors. For instance, the leaders of an organisation need to embrace a networked organisational model, encouraging and resourcing communication management for a culture of participation and collaboration.

A demanda por sistemas Web foi impulsionada a partir da abertura da Internet ao uso comercial, quando o mercado passou a empregá-Ia como infra-estrutura para a distribuição de informações, aplicações e serviços aos seus funcionários (intranets), parceiros (extranets) e clientes (sites Internet). Entretanto, como a Internet não foi concebida para estas finalidades, foram lançadas inúmeras iniciativas no sentido de resolver suas deficiências. A tentativa de suprir a demanda do mercado por novas soluções Web resultou no surgimento de inúmeras tecnologias, marcadas pela complexidade e imaturidade. Estes fatores contribuiram para dificultar a tarefa de se construir aplicações Web de forma correta, eficiente, rápida e barata. Este trabalho analisa as dificuldades relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de software Web, e propõe alguns conceitos e ferramentas para facilitar as etapas de projeto e implementação. Com relação ao projeto de intranets apresentamos uma discussão sobre as oportunidades, as etapas e os recursos envolvidos. No contexto da implementação de sistemas Web, este trabalho contribui com uma discussão sobre as principais arquiteturas e tecnologias de implementação de software Web, com o desenvolvimento de quatro componentes de propósito geral, e umframework para o gerenciamento de documentos em intranets / Abstract: The development of Internet based systems has introdueed the paradigm of Web applieations. Sinee Internet was opened to the market, the demand for Web systems has inereased as a eonsequenee of using Internet as an infrastrueture to deploy information, applieations and serviees to employees (intranets), partners (extranets) and elients (Internet sites). On the other hand, sinee the Internet had not been eoneeived for these purposes, a lot of initiatives was launehed to bypass its deficienees. Aetually, while the market tried to supply the demand for new Web solutions, they did that in a manner that inereased the number of teehnologies, as well as the eomplexity and immaturity of eaeh one. These faetors eontributed to increase the difficulties in developing Web software in a eorreet, eficient, fast and eheap way. This projeet focuses on diffieulties related to the Web software development process, and proposes some eoncepts and tools to make the project and implementation tasks easier. At intranet planning, this work ean be used to define the common steps, resources, oportunities, services and applieations that an intranet must address. Concerning to implementing Web applieations, this work offers a proof of concept through development of four general purpose components and a framework for intranet doeument management built on top of these components / Mestrado / Mestre em Ciência da Computação
