Background of the Study
IT auditing plays a vital role in business risk management by assessing the effectiveness of information technology systems in meeting operational and security objectives. In today’s digital age, companies rely heavily on IT systems, making it crucial to ensure that their IT infrastructure is secure, compliant, and aligned with business goals. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of IT auditing practices in managing business risks in companies in Niger State.

This lack of effective auditing can result in security breaches, non-compliance, and missed opportunities for risk mitigation. The study aims to assess how well IT auditing practices are implemented and their effectiveness in reducing business risks.
