An outsourced accounting application has the most inherent risk and should be prioritized during audit planning because it involves external parties, sensitive data, and complex transactions that are susceptible to material misstatement, error, or fraud12. An outsourced accounting application also requires more oversight and monitoring from the internal audit department to ensure compliance with the service level agreement and the organization's policies and standards3.

The metric that would best measure the agility of an organization's IT function is average time to turn strategic IT objectives into an agreed upon and approved initiative. IT agility is the ability of an IT function to respond quickly and effectively to changing business needs and opportunities. By measuring how fast an IT function can translate strategic IT objectives into actionable initiatives, such as projects or programs, an organization can assess how well its IT function can align with and support its business strategy. Average number of learning and training hours per IT staff member, frequency of security assessments against the most recent standards and guidelines, and percentage of staff with sufficient IT-related skills for the competency required of their roles are metrics that may indicate other aspects of IT performance, such as capability development, security maturity, and skills gap analysis, but they do not directly measure IT agility.
