IT Auditing in E-Government

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4084))

Abstract

We first motivate the need for innovative IT auditing approaches for E-Government. Then we define the requirements and propose an own IT auditing concept for E-Government projects. It is based on established risk management procedures, project management concepts for multidisciplinary projects, and on past experience. Finally, we validate our proposed approach against the requirements.
