Summary: EDP Auditing-Conceptual Foundations and Practice by Weber
Comment: This book should be updated since its last printing.
With that said, it is a good introduction into the area
of EDP Auditing-particularly for college students. It covers
the management framework in the data center, systems development,
the program life cycle, database administration, operations
management, data capture, audit trail controls, evidence
collection and evaluation. The work is written from the EDP
professional's point of view. This text would complement a traditional auditing course by covering the EDP Audit component. It is a bit weak in the telecommunications area; however, the thrust of the work provides a solid foundation in the theory and practice of EDP Auditing for students studying the area for the first time. This book should be taught with a supplemental class project to help students understand how this theory is applied. I would suggest that the author consider an update of the current version to cover more theory of network administration.

Summary: A good primer
Comment: This book may be outdated, but gives a very good overview of the edp audit discipline. I notice a very critical review of this book but I can submit as a IT Risk Management professional that audit is all about controls and hence there would be mechanisms for checks on data entry or any other IT personnel. Traditional auditors look for controls on business processes and EDP auditors look for controls in IT environment. So, I hope the reader looks at it from that perspective and there is no insult in this case. Its like saying that Police should trust every body and feel that there are no criminals at all. Then why police in the first place?

In conclusion, this is a good book for those who are not very much into IT but are planning to move into this new profession. However for advanced IT professionals, there are other books on IT Audit that they can refer.

Summary: Out of date, useless book
Comment: This book is so out of date, it commonly refers to the advent of the minicomputer and its potential effects on the business world. Its filled with ot of date theories, and it takes a down right insulting view of computer professionals. It goes as far as saying that data entry personel are unreliable and should not be trusted!
