Non-financial Audits

Different types of audits exist that apply to other areas of an organisation’s working structure.

Data Protection Audit - “A systematic and independent examination to determine whether activities involving the processing of personal data are carried out in accordance with an organisation's data protection policies and procedures, and whether this processing meets the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.” (Source: http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/)

Software or PC Audit - This is an analysis of a company’s IT software and hardware assets to determine whether the organisation complies with licensing requirements.

Internal audit departments within many organisations are responsible for auditing all aspects of the company, and not just the finances.
