In a digital business environment where software applications are at the core of financial operations, ensuring the accuracy, completeness and reliability of these systems is crucial. IT Application Controls (ITAC) are designed to ensure that applications perform as intended, process data correctly and maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical information.
