Is it permissible to accept a postition as IT auditor/IT consultant ?
As IT auditor/ IT consultant, the tasks will be to examine information systems of compagnies (non financial compagnies). But the work done analyzing the information system will then help other auditors (another job) to state if financial transactions are ok (these auditors have to know before auditing, if the information system is reliable or not). And IT audit’s job (which position was offered to me for my internship), is to check if the system is reliable or not by testing it with the help of engineers.
However, because the IT auditing done will help to check accounts (where there are also haram transactions), is it permissible to work as IT auditor ?
The main objectif of the job is to say if the information system is reliable or not, and is to help auditors who will look into all the financial transactions and account.
