& as such, I'm curious about finding resources for detailed, step by step, auditing procedures & guidelines. I've found (& used) some wonderful sources like BOL & FDIC (my regulatory agency), but what other avenues are available(especially those without a fee)?

OCC has lots of handbooks on their website.

There are several compliance audit related manuals, but they aren't free. I use the one from the ABA. I think Kirchman has one also.

This is my first post to the forum, and definitely not my last.

I'd like to point out COBIT. We sometimes use it as a standard for our IT security assessments on banks and credit unions. It is internationally accepted and is very popular among fellow auditors. Here is a link with some more information. COBIT
They offer much of their information for free, so keep an eye out.

Short answer no. This comes from their site, "COBIT has been developed as a generally applicable and accepted standard for good Information Technology (IT) security and control practices that provides a reference framework for management, users, and IS audit, control and security practitioners."

Basically they provide guidelines for users to perform IT assessments. We sometimes use their guidelines when auditing a bank's network.

Try using your regulators examination procedures. We use the OCC's.

I do & have, but unfortunately, there are some areas where guidance is non-existent or severely lacking.

In some cases you look to your regulator, the FFIEC, other regulators, and your peers (often you'll find something shared in the Banker Tools) or references to other audit sites.
