IT auditors

Who are these guys and what do they do? Also - anyone work as an IT auditor ?

They make sure you have a mouse on your desk, and that said mouse is accounted for, and that if anyone were to move said mouse, the FEDS would know about it.

They audit systems to ensure proper controls are in place so the plot in Office Space doesn't happen in real life.

I've worked as an internal quality auditor at my current company. Basically we go and grill people to find out if people are following the proper processes and we make sure that everything is documented.
