Research paper: COSO Framework

The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar. 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

In this article, Laux highlights the importance of importance of a master budget with respect to the overall working capital of the company. In addition to providing a snap shot of the overall accounting framework of the company, the master budget serves as a guiding light for executives in case of mergers, acquisitions and estimating future revenue. The overarching master budget also serves as a frame work for executives to identify sub-entities within the organization and their economic performance over a period of time.

Example of Security Controls Testing Table

Testing and Assessment Strategies Paper

 

Assignment Content

  1. Refer to NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4) for the 18 candidate security control families and associated security controls.

    Security Assessment must be incorporated into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in order to be a secure, integrated process. Testing of selected security controls ensures that applications meet business requirements, function as planned, and protect associated data securely from attack. A security assessment of the targeted environment identifies vulnerabilities that may cause a security breach and specifies the security controls that mitigate the vulnerabilities.

    For this assignment, use the organization you chose in Week 1.

    Part I: Mapping Vulnerabilities to Security Controls
    Choose 5 distinct security control families as specified in NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4) that are most applicable to your organization’s known vulnerabilities.

    Create a 1-page spreadsheet in Microsoft® Excel® that identifies the following criteria for each family:

    • Control ID
    • Control Name
    • Vulnerability
    • Recommended mitigation (refer to your Week 3 assignment; refine them for this mitigation)
    • Part II: Security Controls Testing
      Provide a 2- to 3-page table in Microsoft Word including each family, and describe the testing procedure that will mitigate the vulnerability. Annotate whether the testing procedure is an interview, observation, technical test, or a combination.

      Part III: Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning
      Provide a 1-page description of penetration testing and vulnerability scanning processes.

      Describe how they are used as part of the organization’s testing and assessment strategy.

      Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

      Submit your assignment.

       

Week 5 Assignment

By now you are familiar on how FOOTPRINTING works and how it is used to gather information of lost objects like cars or electronics from the above video recording and you now have an idea as to how to conduct a digital investigative project. 

For this assignment, you are asked to develop your own crime scenario. Explain the incident that occurred, and then list the steps you would follow to solve this case using footprinting (examples might include: a lost child, an unauthorized charge on your credit card, an unidentified charge made with your EZ PASS, etc.). Take one example from above and write your assignment.

Your assignment should consist of 2-3 paragraphs in about 350 words. Plagiarism score of more than 15 would give you 0. You can easily avoid this by rephrasing the contents and summarizing it using your own words. No inline citations are required, but include you reference at the end with hyperlink.
