| description | In the development of Electronic Commerce in Malaysia, the banking sectors have
already prepared and implemented the Internet Banking, which also known as
virtual banking transaction for customers. The biggest challenge in electronic
commerce implementation is to overcome the issues of security control, customer
identification and account verification for online transaction. Despite of the growth
of internet banking, lack of adequate legal framework especially for auditors and
lack of security control will hamper the continued progress of this evolutionary
process.
Therefore, this study has been conducted to examine the internal auditor's
perception, in general, on the risks, auditing problems and security measurement
concerning with e-commerce or the internet banking transaction.
This is an exploratory study which was conducted on the 16 domestic banks in
Malaysia, including commercial banks and finance banks. The sample was chosen
by using the non probability sampling specifically on the judgment sampling. The
specific location is the Klang Valley area in the state of Selangor. The data was collected through personal interview, a developed questionnaires and various
sources of journals and publications.
From the data analysis, all the respondents agreed that the two most important
perceived risk by internal auditors are security risk for unauthorization and computer
fraud. The downtime computer system and electronic payment systems were ranked
as the two most common problem with auditing e-commerce. Relating to e-commerce
implementation, the most important factor perceived on control
measurement are security control and integrity control. This finding suggest that a
better security improvement should be taken by the banks with a very tight IT
security policy. The increase in security awareness especially in banking sector will
minimize the potential fraud and losses and indirectly improve the customers
trust and confidence in using the bank products. |
