Abstract	The effective execution of IT audits depends on a systematic, integrated framework that drives the audit life cycle through planning, execution, and reporting. Based on this fact, the study has developed a model of an end-to-end IT audit framework that emphasizes risk-based audit planning, effective execution strategies, and strong reporting mechanisms. The article seeks to discuss best practices in optimizing audit programs to meet organizational objectives, regulatory requirements, and current landscapes regarding technological changes. These include risk assessment, scoping, resource allocation, and control testing methods that achieve a proper balance between compliance and operational efficiency. The framework further helps in challenges related to data handling, integration of automated tools, and dynamic auditing techniques for increased coverage and reliability. This framework supports audit teams to deliver actionable insights, enhance the control environment, and promote value-based auditing. This will be particularly important for auditors in highly regulated industries that rely on strong IT control systems for security and, more importantly, compliance.
