SNHU Digital Internal Controls for Data Protection Brief Summary

Review the resource article

Reinventing Internal Controls in the Digital Age

.

Write a brief summary of the AIS used at your place of employment and the types of data your organization collects/uses. If you are not currently employed, you may use a previous employer or interview an acquaintance about the AIS used at his or her workplace. If you have not been employed, interview a friend or family member who has information about their organization’s AIS (or lack thereof).

Next, assume you are an accounting manager at the organization you summarized above and, reflecting on the concepts and resources covered in this course, describe the changes that you would make to the internal control structure to better protect data. If you would not make any changes, explain why. Consider the personal attitudes, values, and culture of your employees and organization, as well as ethical considerations of the data your organization collects/uses.
