Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to carry out a computer audit to the "General Antonio Elizalde Bucay Educational Unit, Bucay Canton" Guayas province, 2018 period for the detection of flaws in the computer systems and the protection of the information allowing the optimization of technological resources. For its development, an interview was applied to the rector of the educational center and surveys of administrative staff, teachers, and students, information techniques such as direct observation, internal control questionnaire, and document review were used to verify the study variables. A series of weaknesses were identified, such as the non-existence of a contingency plan in the event of any abnormality in the IT area and the absence of a registry of IT inventories. It was determined that the Educational Unit does not have an internal computer control system, which led to non-compliance with the internal control standards of the State Comptroller General's Office. It was concluded that the institution maintains outdated operating systems and lacks internal computer control policies to previously identify such shortcomings. It is recommended to the highest authority "General Antonio Elizalde Bucay" Educational Unit to implement policies, strategies, preventive and corrective measures to protect the security of the information of the institution and guarantee a quality education to the student sector.
