What Is ITGC (IT General Controls)?
IT General Controls (ITGC) are the policies, procedures and activities an organization uses to keep its IT systems and business applications secure, available, accurate and reliable. They help protect critical data, prevent unauthorized access, keep system changes controlled and keep IT operations dependable.
ITGC audits are commonly performed as part of SOX compliance, internal audits, external audits and SOC examinations. The four major ITGC domains are:
- User Access Management: only authorized users can access business applications and systems.
- Change Management: system changes are requested, approved, tested and implemented properly.
- IT Operations: incidents, scheduled jobs, system activity and operational processes are monitored.
- Backup and Recovery: business data is backed up and can be restored when required.
Understanding these four domains is essential for anyone planning to work as an IT Auditor, ITGC Analyst, SOX Auditor or IT Risk Consultant.

Practical ITGC Audit Scenarios
The most important part of ITGC training is understanding how controls work in real organizations and how auditors test them. Learners work through scenarios such as these. See how change testing works in our guide to ITGC change management testing.
Terminated Employee Still Has Application Access
An employee leaves the organization, but their application account remains active.
Auditor’s approach- Obtain the employee termination details from HR
- Obtain the application user listing
- Verify the termination date and account deactivation date
- Review the de-provisioning ticket and approval evidence
- Evaluate whether access was removed within the defined timeframe
- Document any exceptions
Production Change Without Proper Approval
A developer implements a production change without the required approval.
Auditor’s approach- Obtain the change population
- Select a sample of production changes
- Review the change request and business justification
- Verify approval before implementation
- Inspect testing and UAT evidence
- Verify deployment details and implementation date
- Document any missing control attributes
Backup Job Failure
A scheduled backup job fails, but the failure is not identified or resolved promptly.
Auditor’s approach- Obtain backup monitoring reports
- Identify failed backup jobs
- Review alerts and incident tickets
- Verify investigation and escalation
- Inspect evidence of successful backup completion or restoration testing
- Assess whether the issue was resolved according to policy
Privileged Access Review
An employee has administrator access to a critical business application.
Auditor’s approach- Obtain the privileged user listing
- Verify the user’s job responsibilities
- Review approval from the appropriate authority
- Inspect the privileged access review
- Verify whether unnecessary access was removed
- Review monitoring and logging evidence
