An overview of controls and security issues pertaining to information systems will be covered. This course will present students with information on: the IT audit process, frameworks used to control IT, ethical issues dealing with IT, computer assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATTs), IT Governance, and audit programs for investigating specific IT issues. Students will also gain a working knowledge of ACL through hands-on exposure to the software. Learning Objectives: See attached schedule for learning objectives covered in each session. Student’s Responsibilities: It is important that you keep pace with the material being presented in class. In order to accomplish this task, attendance is essential. If you miss a class for any reason, you are responsible for the material presented, any items that may have been distributed, and any assignments that are due. Class preparation is extremely important for success in MSA 516. I expect you to read the assigned material before class. Completion and understanding of the assigned reading and assignments is essential to learning the material and performing well on the exams. Files on Professor’s Webpage: Students can find files related to MSA 516 on my web page. The address is www.csb.uncw.edu/people/ ivancevichd. The web page can also be accessed by going to the CSB homepage, clicking on the Faculty/Staff link, clicking on the Directory link, and then clicking on the Web Page link next to my name. 1Grading: Grades will be determined by the accumulation of points from exams, assignments, and projects. Points will be determined in the following fashion: POINTS Assignments/Presentation 20% Exam 40% ACL Project 40% Total 100% Final grades will be based on the percentage of total points earned and assigned in the following manner: A 92-100% C+ 77-79.9% A- 90-91.9% C 70-76.9% B+ 87-89.9% F Below 60% B 82-86.9% B- 80-81.9% Assignments: Students will be asked to complete a Section 404 group project and individual ACL assignments. Individual ACL assignments will be taken from the ACL tutorial provided on the ACL disk required for the class. More information on these assignments will be distributed later in the semester. Exams: An exam will be given covering the material in the book and assigned supplemental readings. The exam will be comprised of objective, short answer, and essay questions. ACL Project: Each student will be asked to complete an ACL project in lieu of taking a final exam. The comprehensive project will help demonstrate a working knowledge of ACL. Make-up exams: Make-up exams will be given only for those students with a valid, written excuse. Groupwork: We will be working on two group tasks this semester. For each group task, the group will elect a leader for the activity. The leader will be responsible for assigning work and making sure that the activity is completed on time. 23Student Presentations: Each group of students will be asked to convey information and lead a discussion on an IT audit-related topic during the semester. Topics have been randomly assigned to groups. Group-assigned topics are shown on the schedule at the end of the syllabus. Each group will present for 15-20 minutes in class. Topic coverage should be accompanied by a PowerPoint slide presentation and handouts on the topic. I expect each member of the group to take part in the presentation. Required reading for the entire class on the topic will be assigned. Research on the topics presented is expected. Make sure to cite your research in your PowerPoint presentation and handouts. Each group will be evaluated on their presentation (see page 7 of syllabus). Presentations will be evaluated in the following areas: content (information shared through presentation and questions fielded from the audience), delivery (presentation of material, engagement of audience, presentation style), organization (presentation easy to follow and flow of the presentation), and mechanics (terminology, word choice, and use of visual aids/handouts). Each group is expected to meet with me prior to making their presentation in class. An outline of the presentation is expected for the meeting. An electronic copy of the PowerPoint slides and handouts should be sent to me either prior or on the day of the presentation, so they may be posted on my website. On the day of presentation, groups are expected to post their presentation to the in-class computer prior to the beginning of class. Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is expected. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in the harshest manner allowed by university guidelines. This may mean a zero for the assignment involved, an “F” for the course, or worse. Please refer to the student handbook. I do not want to discourage students from working together on group activities. But when I ask for your own work, I expect your own work. Student Harassment Issues: UNCW practices a zero-tolerance policy for violence and harassment of any kind. For emergencies contact UNCW CARE at 962-2273, Campus Police at 962-3184, or Wilmington Police at 911. For University or community resources visit http://uncw.edu/wrc/crisis.htm.
