One cannot get involved in the careers it encompasses without having a basic love of learning, even on a subconscious level. New technology is constantly being developed and so anyone in the IT field must continually be retrained, for lack of a better term. This holds true even more so for the software side of the field. Consider the firewall or antivirus software, every time the computer system is turned on the system checks for updates to its library of known viruses. That means somewhere on the other end of the internet connection is a network security technician who is constantly researching and investigating new programs and techniques hackers...

Information Technology auditors analyze the information technology structure, operations, and software of an organization. They are in charge of identifying better ways in which the organization’s systems can meet their needs in a better and more reliable way.

Most IT auditors work in offices, obviously with computer systems. Some IT auditors work with the same company for years making sure the information systems and internal controls work properly. Some other IT auditors work for CPA firms that provide auditing services, and are required to travel to evaluate the information systems of clients. For the most part IT auditors work independently, but when they are assigned to larger and/or complicated projects, they use the collaboration of other peers. James Reinhard, CPA, CIA, CISA, manager of Simon Property Group Inc. who has more than 20 years’ experience in IT and integrated auditing states that “The ideal IT auditor should be able to discuss IP routing with the network folks in one hour and financial statement disclosures with the controller in the next” (Scharf, 2008).

An economic profile should always include the expenditure or consumption of money in that area. An economic profile combines narrative information with selective business and financial data to provide an overview of the economic landscape of an industry, business sector, city, region or nation.
