Background of the Study
The e-commerce industry has revolutionized the retail landscape, providing consumers with convenience and accessibility. Jumia Nigeria, a leading e-commerce platform, operates in a highly competitive and technology-driven environment. However, the reliance on digital platforms exposes e-commerce companies to cybersecurity risks such as data breaches, payment fraud, and unauthorized access (Ibrahim & Nwosu, 2023).
IT audits play a critical role in evaluating and strengthening IT systems, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and safeguarding customer data. An effective IT audit identifies gaps in security controls, enhances operational efficiency, and fosters trust among stakeholders (Okoro & Adamu, 2024). This study evaluates the effectiveness of IT audits in Jumia Nigeria, focusing on their role in addressing the unique challenges of the e-commerce sector.
Statement of the Problem

Despite the adoption of IT audits, many e-commerce platforms in Nigeria, including Jumia Nigeria, experience issues such as data breaches and operational disruptions, raising concerns about the effectiveness of these audits (Adebayo & Salisu, 2025).
There is a need to critically evaluate IT audit practices in the e-commerce industry to determine their effectiveness in mitigating cybersecurity risks and enhancing operational performance. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of IT audits in Jumia Nigeria and propose strategies for improvement.
