| dc.description | This research assessed the impact of Information technology on internal auditing in Tanzanian organizations. The study was exploratory and descriptive in nature and it was restricted to the Dar es Salaam area, which is the commercial center of Tanzania. As such it represents IT growth of both government and a business organizations in the country. Primary data was collected through questionnaires. The central finding in this research work reveal that the internal audit profession in Tanzania lags behind in effective use of IT to support their duties. From the discussion of the findings it was clearly observed that several factors, which contributed to the hindrance of internal auditors’ use of technology, are interwoven. As such, it was clear that the lack of top management support seemed to be a critical problem because it is from this factor that other factors were brought into existence. For instance, inadequate training programs, internal auditors’ involvement in information systems development, and poor allocation of budget to the internal audit department were the result of lack of top management support. | |
