Cybersecurity risk: time for auditors to take heed?
The global interest in cybersecurity is growing. As we move
into the cyber age, technology has become a huge part of both
our everyday lives and today’s business environment, as more
and more businesses increase their online presence and digital
exposure by leveraging technology for almost every aspect of
their business. But just as technology presents opportunities to
many businesses, it also presents threats and challenges. Over
the years, cyber attacks have continued to occur, escalating in
frequency, severity and impact. These incidents have impacted
every industry from financial services to retailers, entertainment
and healthcare providers.
[…]
Perhaps due to its constantly evolving nature, cybersecurity
risk remains complex and abstract to many. There may also be a
perception that cybersecurity risk is not relevant to small
businesses, hence, cybersecurity risk may not have been
considered and addressed in all financial statements audits. But
let us think about this: risk assessment is a crucial part of audit
planning and auditors are required under the auditing standards
to obtain an understanding of business risks that may result in
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. Just as
auditors would consider an entity’s business risks in a financial
statements audit, cybersecurity risk is an equally important risk
area that cannot be ignored. Perhaps even more so, given the
broad extent to which cyber attacks can cause fundamental enterprise-wide damage to organisations, and for some attacks,
even a huge impact to the financial statements. Cybersecurity risk
is hence an essential consideration in any financial statements
audit.
