What is meant by auditing around the computer versus auditing through the computer? Why is this so important?
Auditing around the computer involves black box testing in which the auditors do not rely on a detailed knowledge of the application's internal logic. Input is reconciled with corresponding output. Auditing through the computer involves obtaining an in-depth understanding of the internal logic of the computer application. As transactions become increasingly automated, the inputs and outputs may become decreasingly visible. Thus, the importance of understanding the programming components of the system is crucial.
