This nonmandatory IIA Audit Tool is designed to accompany the GTAG “Understanding and Auditing Big Data.” The tool offers a sample work program for big data. Internal auditors may use this sample as the baseline but must create a specific audit program that meets their organization’s needs, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations.
