The first question of the day, if Malik has it his way;
What are the risks and issues; before you listen, go grab some tissues;
First off, info tech has made a wreck; computer frauds, viruses, and what the heck;
Businesses be worried boys takin’ their cash; hackers just be leavin’ a total hash;
Whether it be fraudulent or a mistake, when you losing money, it ain’t somethingyou can fake;
IT is tough, we know you had enough;
C-suites listen up, and your share price will go up;
We be talkin’ about internal controls, its gettin’ out of control;
This song is about info technology, and I'm the next rap prodigy;
SOX, COBIT and COSO; before these rhymes, you were only SOSO;
My roots stem from ‘A’ ‘C’ ‘C’ 6 2 6, listen away and I’ll have a good fix;
So what should worry the profession; have auditors cry and say this is my confession
Auditors be stackin’ that substantive paper; but IT makes them disappear like vapour
Control risk is getting higher than snoop; auditors have no choice but to regroup
The goal ain’t perfection; but you need to follow the handbook section
So many uncertainties in cash collections; how can you attest rev if you need corrections
Fictitious accounts right and left; this is what we call theft;
We be talkin’ about internal controls, its gettin’ out of control;
This song is about info technology, and I'm the next rap prodigy;
SOX, COBIT and COSO; before these rhymes, you were only SOSO;
My roots stem from ‘A’ ‘C’ ‘C’ 6 2 6, listen away and I’ll have a good fix;
You probably be askin’ yourself how do we manage; IT seems so complex it’s easy to mismanage;
IT tools is your key to victory; I know use IT against IT sounds contradictory;
But CAATs can audit a million and one; use IDEA and you have already won;
Throw in IT audit geeks; to make those audit plan tweaks;
To understand the risk and implications; have the partner clap for all your great creations;
Use audit objectives; COBIT makes your work less subjective;
We be talkin’ about internal controls, its gettin’ out of control;
This song is about info technology, and I'm the next rap prodigy;
SOX, COBIT and COSO; before these rhymes, you were only SOSO;
My roots stem from ‘A’ ‘C’ ‘C’ 6 2 6, listen away and I’ll have a good fix;
If you thinkin’ about IT outsourcin’; think twice before you start endorsin’;
SOX needs you to know internal controls; sending IT overseas can leave holes;
Holes in knowing if it is working right; and it ain’t as easy as black and white;
If CEOs get it wrong; their sentence will be 20 years long;
That is where watch dogs come in; SAS 70 is how auditors goin’ win;
Provide assurance to all their clients; make all the haters go silent;
We be talkin’ about internal controls, its gettin’ out of control;
This song is about info technology, and I'm the next rap prodigy;
SOX, COBIT and COSO; before these rhymes, you were only SOSO;
My roots stem from ‘A’ ‘C’ ‘C’ 6 2 6, listen away and I’ll have a good fix;
But what about the new danger; IT just keeps making things stranger;
Cloud computing is leading edge; but what about the risks we can’t hedge;
Auditors must answer this question; or they will be out of the question;
