ABSTRACT
The audit is required at a university to evaluate the IT services on accounting information system. The auditof accounting information system at one of the universities in Indonesia aims to determine the maturitylevel of IT services in support the financial data management. Audit of accounting information system isvery important because the university can determine the extent of IT services that has been given. Inaddition, the audit results can also be used as a reference for the future in improving IT services inaccounting information system. Stages of accounting information system audit begin with choosing adomain which includes the identification of business goals, IT goals, IT process and control objectivesusing COBIT 4.1 framework. The next stage is to collect the necessary data through interviews and surveysusing questionnaires. The data collected are then processed to obtain a maturity level. Results of audit ofaccounting information system that has been conducted show that the maturity index of the entire ITprocess is 2.69, which means the current level of maturity in 3-defined. The expected level of maturity is 4-managed. A comparison of the current and expected level of maturity to give rise the gap. Improvementstrategy are given to overcome the gaps that appear based on the COBIT 4.1 framework and supported byITIL V3 framework that has been through the mapping process using the COBIT 4.1 IT process.
Keywords: Audit of Information System, COBIT 4.1, ITIL V3, Maturity Level, Gap, Improvement
1. INTRODUCTION
The role of information technology withinthe university in Indonesia is very important,especially for a university that has the status as aBLU. Each university, which has status as a BLUrequired to manage financial data independently,systematically and accountable.
Financial data management thatindependent, systematic and accountable requires agood information technology governance [3].Information technology governance as an integralpart of a company that consists of the leadership,structures and organizational process ensures thatinformation technology within the organization tocontinue and the organization is improve goals andstrategies [2][4].
Audit of accounting information systemneeds to be done to improve the financial datamanagement and to create an accountable financialreport in accordance with accounting standard.Audit of accounting information system is alsoexpected that IT services can provide effectivenessand efficiency in the future.
Audit of accounting information systemfocus on the delivery and support of IT services isto meet the needs and satisfaction of users. Thisaudit is using two IT governance frameworks that isCOBIT 4.1 and to supported by ITIL V3.
COBIT 4.1 is a framework for ITgovernance that includes planning, implementation,operation and monitoring of the entire process.COBIT 4.1 consists of 4 domains, namely Plan andOrganise, Acquire and Implement, Deliver andSupport, Monitor and Evaluate with 34 IT processin them [5][9][11]. ITIL V3 framework is aguidelines that provided the best practices forservice management [6]. ITIL V3 consists ofService Operation, Service Transition, ServiceDesign, Service Strategy and Continual ServiceImprovement [10].
COBIT 4.1 framework is used as areference in determining the IT process andmeasure the maturity level of IT process. The poorcurrent level of maturity made it necessary todetermine an expected maturity level target, whichgive rise to gap. The gap that appear is used as areference to determine improvement strategy.

Improvement strategy are determined based on theCOBIT 4.1 framework that is supported by ITIL V3framework that has been through the mappingprocess of the IT process in COBIT 4.1 framework[7][12].
Audit of accounting information systemusing two frameworks provided a better auditresults. In addition, weaknesses in accountinginformation system can be seen in more detail byusing two frameworks that COBIT 4.1 and ITIL V3[10].
Audit of accounting information systemusing are COBIT 4.1 framework which is used tomeasure the maturity level of IT services and ITILV3 as a support in recommendations forimprovement. The audit only focused on the 13 ITprocess in Deliver and Support domain COBIT 4.1framework. Deliver and Support domain is moreemphasis on the process of IT services, systemsecurity, training, data management and other of theaccounting information system that has been used.While some people have also been conducted auditsusing IT governance frameworks such as COBIT,ISO 27000, ITIL, COSO and others [5][6][10].

Figure 1: Stage of Audit Process
The initial stage in planning an audit is todetermine the problem formulation, purposes andproblem limitations. In the planning stage, literaturestudy and university data collection are performedto support the audit process. The next step isselection of domain based on the COBIT 4.1framework.
Selection of domain is conducted tochoose the IT process that will be used in the audit.The IT process are obtained through theidentification of business goals, IT goals,identification of IT process and identification ofcontrol objectives according to the COBIT 4.1framework.
Data collection is conducted throughinterviews and surveys using questionnaires. Datawere obtained from interviews and surveys usingquestionnaires then processed to obtain the maturitylevel of IT process.
Then the obtained IT process maturitylevel is analyzed. Afterwards the expected level ofmaturity is determined to see the level of maturitythat has been achieved. Comparison of the currentmaturity level with the expected maturity level giverise to gap.
The gap that appears need to be overcometo provide improvement strategy. It is a step toachieve the expected level of maturity.
The providing of improvement strategy isbased on the COBIT 4.1 and ITIL V3 frameworkthat has been through the mapping process. Aftergiving the recommendation, then the final stage ofthe audit process is the preparation of the finalreport of the audit results.
3. AUDIT MODEL
3.1. Questionnaire Draft of Maturity LevelMaturity level questionnaires are
distributed to 29 respondents within the university.The selected respondents are respondents who havethe duty and responsibility in the use of accountinginformation system.
The statement was designed based on theexisting control objective in COBIT 4.1 IT process.Each IT process control objective has statement thatdescribe how those controls are implemented andmaintained [11]. Table 1 shown an example ofcontrol objective statement draft DS2.2 in ITprocess DS2.

The involvement of the systemdevelopers, internal parties and users arevery close in creating a high valuesystem.
Each respondent gives rating to the ITprocess control objective statement that has beendetermined. The rating of statements is necessarybecause any such statements are not of equal valuein its application [1].
Table 2: The Rating of the Risk AssessmentRisk ValueHigh 0,7 – 1,0
Medium 0,4 – 0,6Low 0,1 – 0,3
The rating is determined from theimplementation guidelines and level of importanceto the organization. Statement that rated with highrisk mean that the statement is very important to bedone or implemented. Statement with medium riskrating do not have the threat as big as the high, butstill need to be implemented as a precautionarymeasure. Low risk is not required to be applied, butif it is implemented will increase the performanceof system [1].
After making the statement, then questionsrepresenting each control objective statement aremade. Each statement does not always producedonly one question, but it can be more than one aslong as these questions can represent eachstatement [1][3]. Table 3 is contained question draftexample that represent a control objective statementof DS2.2 in IT process DS2.

The organization already has proof inidentifying existing problems but needs to bedirected. There i no standard process and theapproach taken is ad-hoc.
2(Repeatable)
Organization has a developed process. There is aprocedure to run a defined process, there is noformal training and standard communicationprocedures.
3(Defined)
The organization already has a standardized anddocumented procedure. The procedure has beenwell communicated through formal training. Butat the implementation stage it depends on theindividual whether to follow the establishedprocedures or not. Procedure of the organizationis not yet perfect but it is a mere formality onexisting practice.
4(Managed)
Organization monitors and measures theprocedures and policies that have beeneffectively implemented. In the event of errorsand irregularities, a series of procedures forcorrective actions to be undertaken are alreadyexist. Repair are carried out consistently andprovide best practices and results. Automationand tools are used limited and fragmented.
5(Optimized)
The conducted process has had improvementefforts at the level of continuous best practicesthat produces the best process and best results.The use of integrated information technology isalready available there by automation can bedone within the organization. A tool to improvethe value and effectiveness is already exists thusthe organization can well adapt.
3.2. Measurement of Maturity LevelThe results of the questionnaire data
processing are used as a benchmark to determinethe maturity level of IT process. In Table 5, COBIT4.1 maturity level assessment criteria are shown[11].Table 5: COBIT 4.1 Maturity Level Assessment Criteria

existent) to level five (optimized). Each maturitylevel has a list of statements used as a guidelines inassessing the extent to which the process takesplace in the company has fulfilled the statement[8][11]. The maturity level calculation is describedas follows [1][2][6].1. Calculation of the average value of each
statement (if the statement is more than one).Total Rating =(Statement Rating 1)+( Statement Rating 2..n)
Total Statement
2. Calculation of the value score of each statement.Total Score = (Question Score 1) + (Question Score 2...n)
3. Calculation of the value score average of eachstatement.
Value Score = Total Score / Total Question
4. Calculation of the maturity level.Maturity Level = (Total Rating) x (Value Score)
4. RESULT AND ANALYSIS
4.1. Determination of IT ProcessDetermination of IT process is performed
through several phases. The initial stage is to alignthe vision, mission and purposes of the university inimplementing the accounting information system tothe business goals COBIT 4.1. Alignmentconducted in order to obtain business goals COBIT4.1. COBIT 4.1 framework has 17 business goalsthat are grouped based on the Balanced Scorecard[11].
Next, the related IT goals are associatedwith IT process contained in the COBIT 4.1framework for obtaining IT process that will beused in audits of accounting information system. InTable 6 are shown the IT process used in the auditprocess.

Based on the selection of a domain thathas been done, an audit of accounting informationsystem focus on the Deliver and Support domain
that consists of 13 IT process based on COBIT 4.1framework.
4.2. Analysis of Current Maturity LevelAnalysis of IT process maturity level on
Deliver and Support domain is conducted based onthe COBIT 4.1 framework to determine the currentlevel of maturity in the accounting informationsystem. The questionnaire calculation results for theentire IT process distributed to 29 respondents canbe seen in Table 7.

In Table 7 is shown that the average levelof maturity is 2.69 so that the condition of thecurrent level of maturity is in 3-defined. Thematurity level of 3-defined is a condition in whichthe accounting information system already hasstandardized and documented procedures. Theprocedure has been well communicated throughformal training but at the implementation stage itdepends on the individual whether to follow theestablished procedures or not.
4.3. Analysis of the Current and the ExpectedMaturity Level
COBIT 4.1 framework has a measure ofmaturity level ranging from 0 (non existents) to 5(optimized) [8][11]. Target level of maturity ITprocess gradually determined by looking thecurrent level of maturity that is in the 3-defined. It

Table 8 is shown that the expected level ofmaturity is 4-managed. Maturity level of 4-managed is a condition where it is possible tomonitor and measure compliance to procedures andpolicies of accounting information system. If anerror occurs when using the accounting informationsystem, a series of procedures for improvementactions to be undertaken is available. Improvementare performed consistently and provides topractices and best results.
Graphic representation of the current levelof maturity with the expected level of maturity isshown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Current and Expected Maturity Level Chart
The graph in Figure 2 is shown that the ITprocess in the Deliver and Support domain are atthe current level of maturity is 3-defined and havenot reached the expected level of maturity in 4-

5. CONCLUSION
The conclusion of the audit that has beendone is an audit of the accounting informationsystem includes audit planning, the selection of thedomain consists of identifying the business goals,IT goals, IT process and control objectives, datacollection, processing and analysis of data,improvement strategy and preparation of an auditresults of final report. Audit of accountinginformation systems focus on the domain Deliverand Support with 13 IT process contained in it. The
measurement of the maturity level using is COBIT4.1 framework. The maturity level of IT process isat the maturity level of 3-defined and the expectedlevel of maturity is 4-managed to give rise the gap.The improvement strategy given to overcome theappear gaps are based on COBIT 4.1 supported byITIL V3 framework.
6. FURTHER RESEARCH DIRECTION
The audit results are expected to be usedas a reference in developing and improving ITservices in accounting information system in thefuture. The audit of accounting information systemin the future is also expected to not only focus onIT process in the Deliver and Support domain butalso the entire IT process contained in the COBIT4.1 framework. The expected maturity level mustalso be increased to the maturity level of 5-optimized which is the highest maturity level in theCOBIT 4.1 framework. The next audit it is alsoexpected to be able to use some of the ITgovernance framework as comparison.
