Recommended: Quarterly Quality Assurance review

Woodhaven is trying to establish a quarterly review of authorized user for our Woodhaven FoxPro Payroll Application. My understanding is the user information is embedded in the source code for this application. As a matter of control, I would like to set up a quarter user review for this application, but to do so, I need someone in IT Security to access the code and provide a list of authorized user. Furthermore, if necessary, IT Security would need the ability to make the necessary code charges. As of now, I will be responsible for performing the review. Can someone provide guidance on how best to establish this review? Thanks,

    Auditing enhanced the security in an infrastructure by giving Systems Administrators a closer look of events occurring in their infrastructure. It gives them a history of a certain user’s or computer’s activates and allow them to watch out for intruders’ events and preventing unauthorized access to a certain object in the infrastructure. Best practices of auditing are making an auditing plan at first where Systems Administrators can define what items to audit. In most cases, Systems Administrators should at least archive security logs and audit them, audit login activates, and audit applications logs. Additionally, policy change events must be audited to insure that users can never change the Local Security Authority (LSA). This auditing option allows Systems Administrators to insure that users do not go around enforced polices and cause a security issue to the

  • Bridgteon Industries Cost Accounting System

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    The managerial accounting system at Bridgeton, as it is presented, seems to be lacking detail necessary for efficient analysis. The sections used are sales, direct material, direct labor and overhead by account number, each divided into individual accounts and summed to find totals. There is no separation of fixed and variable costs in any of the accounts, making it difficult to analyze exactly where operations are costing money and, therefore, how they could possibly be improved. The presentation of the information groups all sales together and the different categories of costs together and does not provide for individual product analysis. The products are analyzed (categorized into classes) based on their costs, with no consideration to revenues associated with these products, and no real understanding of the overhead applied to each product. The overhead costs are applied to accounts based on labor and materials of the company as a whole, rather than using considerations associated with the individual products.
