Internal Audit optimization
Business Challenge
Internal Audit has to contribute added value in realizing business objectives and support performance improvements initiatives proactively. Both risk & control evaluation and data analytics are competencies needed to realize these objectives and must be closely aligned for an effective implementation. Data analytics can be used to establish process improvement within and beyond Internal Audit (e.g. contribute value to planning).
What Phenix Consulting offers on Internal Audit Optimization
Phenix Consulting developed a methodology and toolkit to implement the necessary changes that support Internal Audit in:
- Performing controls testing and risk assessment on a frequent basis (near real-time) and in as automated a manner as possible
- Identifying risk areas before they have an impact on the business. This will support the perception by the business that internal audit is being proactive in identifying risks and improvement opportunities
- Transferring knowledge to business units to support overall optimization
Financial Audit optimization
Business Challenge
The challenge for financial audit is to deliver high(er) audit quality with fewer resources. Statistical sampling is a tool used by auditors to reduce their investigative effort whilst providing sufficient evidence to identify audit issues and to justify their findings.
Statistical sampling also provides a sound base for the identification of risks and therefore optimizes prioritization of audit work streams. If a sample contains errors, a quantifiable result in terms of precision and reliability can be quickly obtained.
One advantage of statistical sampling is that expected and non- expected errors can be identified.
What Phenix Consulting has to offer on financial audit optimization
Phenix Consulting provides training to audit firms on the proper application of sampling methods and techniques to obtain efficiencies in the audit execution and will act as subject matter experts and provide advice and recommendations in (complex) questions around statistical auditing.
