An analysis into the implications of Information Technology on the internal audit function: A case study of Bulawayo City Council

ABSTRACT

This research study was triggered by the researcher’s experiences during Work Related Learning

at Bulawayo City Council. The researcher observed that although information technology was

making business easier for Bulawayo City Council, the impact of information technology on

Bulawayo City Council’s audit department was not being addressed.

The research made an in-depth review of the literature related to the impact of information

technology on internal audit.This review aimed at obtaining information on what other authors

who carried the same study said in order to get the required information conversant with current

studies. The researcher made use of the descriptive research methods in gathering the

information relevant to the study. The techniques employed included the conducting of

interviews and the administering of questionnaires. The population utilized in the research was

made up of BCC’s Members of the Audit Committee, Chief Internal Auditor, Senior Accountants

and Senior IT Technicians.

From the findings obtained, the researcher concluded that the internal audit staffs at Bulawayo

City Council were failing to keep abreast to the continuous changes in information technology

implemented by the organisationhence recommendations were made.
