Abstract

Information Technology and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting: the audit cycle The Information Technology Controls (ITC) have a great influence on the reliabil- ity of financial reporting. They are part of Internal Controls over Financial Report- ing (ICFR) but the area of Information Technology is often not well integrated and coordinated with the traditional Internal Controls, in absence of a compulsory Framework. A survey was conducted on a sample of companies listed on the Ital- ian Stock Exchange.
