An analysis of the impact of emerging technology on organisations’ internal controls

M.Comm. (Computer Auditing) / This study presents an evaluation of emerging information communication technology (ICT) solutions to the security internal control systems in South African organisations. Information systems have enabled companies to communicate more efficiently, gain competitive advantage and get a larger market share. These information systems therefore need to be protected securely as they are the vehicles and containers for critical information assets in decision-making processes. Therefore, this research study seeks to provide an overview of the emerging ICT solutions used to conduct business transactions, and share and communicate information. It identifies and analyses the new security risk associated with the emerging technology, and, finally, outlines the ICT security frameworks that can be used to identify, assess and evaluate organisations‟ security internal controls.
