professionals and providing opportunities for debate and
discussion.

The talk will be covering common spreadsheet
errors - what they are, how they are caused, the risks they pose and what can
be done about them. A taxonomy of spreadsheet errors will be discussed and
examples shown with hopefully interaction from the audience to detect obvious
errors. The aspects of causation such as human error, non-awareness and
over-reliance on others will be discussed with suggestions on how to prevent
or minimise. Audit aspects such as audit tools, methods and strategies will be
talked about with possible examples of tools in action. David Chadwick - Senior Lecturer,

Changes in
the technologies underlying computer networks are important to
auditors because these have implications both for network security
management and the audit of these arrangements. These implications
provide today’s theme concentrating by way of example on the
audit of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and Frame Relay. |

Outsourcing
& Out of Control Projects
(more
information)
|
About 25% of software projects will
be cancelled because they are late, over budget, have unacceptably
low quality, or experience some combination of these problems.
Outsourced operations have created new security threats and risks.
Practical control measures are vital. The risks associated with
outsourcing overseas and ecommerce operations will be considered. |

Configuring
NT securely is often a major hurdle - Windows 2000 adds many new
challenges to a secure infrastructure. Risk minimisation
strategies include: reviewing typical threats; using W2K security
mechanisms pro-actively; customising administrative control;
planning and implementing counter-measures; securing Active
Directory; the encrypting file system. |
