Guidelines for Assessing and Optimizing IT Asset Oversight

Unlock the full potential of your organization’s IT investments with our IT Asset Management Audit Work Program, a practical audit tool designed to help you gain complete visibility and control over your IT assets. By providing a structured approach to auditing, this tool helps organizations ensure the accuracy of their asset inventories, optimize resource utilization and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. It empowers businesses to identify and recover lost or underutilized assets while minimizing risks associated with data breaches and operational inefficiencies. With its guidelines, this audit program not only streamlines asset management processes but also drives strategic decision-making, ultimately leading to significant cost savings and improved organizational performance.

The document includes two samples that serve as practical guides for conducting IT asset management audits. Sample 1 focuses on foundational elements such as project planning, risk indicators and key areas like tactical alignment, stability and human capital. It emphasizes the importance of a centralized asset repository and effective documentation. Sample 2 delves deeper into operational and strategic aspects, addressing goal setting, organizational structure and success measurement. Together, these samples provide a framework for assessing and optimizing IT asset management, ensuring that all critical components are thoroughly evaluated for ongoing improvement.

Audit work steps include:

  • Discuss the use of the existing central software library.
  • Determine the procedures for maintaining and updating the asset management repository.
  • Understand the interactions between purchasing/asset management data and other business functions.
  • Request and review SLAs to understand how performance expectations are measured, communicated and used in IT management processes.
