One of the pillars of successful audit training is the knowledge on how to minimize risk by way of proper internal control designs. One of the most important controls is the Separation of Duties (SoD), a concept that involves no one person having authority over all components of any key function. This reduces the risk of human error, abuse, and fraud within IT systems, financial processes, and Learning Management Systems (LMS).

In this IT Audit Bytes course, we examine the implementation, assessment, and audit of SoD controls. Discover how to detect conflicting roles, develop preventive controls, and track access rights to stay compliant with standards such as SOX, ISO 27001, and NIST. Particular attention is paid to live LMS implementations, where duties like user creation, assignment of courses, and reporting need to be explicitly split up to ensure data integrity.

In summary, audit training does not exist without learning Separation of Duties. Empower yourself and your team with this essential insight to reinforce internal controls, minimize risk, and become audit-ready in any electronic ecosystem.
