of years due to budgetary, resources or other restrictions,
resulting in the need for a multi year plan.
• Malls may be priortised based on factors illustrated in the

Perform Risk and Control


Perform process understanding
analysis
• Process understanding • Based on process
commonly performed through understanding, identify and
interviews and discussions assess process risks and how
controls are in place to
• Conducted with those manage those risks
individuals who are intimately
familiar with the process • Documented in the Risk and
Control Matrix (RCM)
• Should be documented in
narrative form and/or through
the use of flowcharts

Process Narratives - Sample for
Illustration

Process Narratives document shall record all the


pertinent information relating to that major process.

Generally, information that is required for you to plan


and design the audit procedures for this process may be
included here.
Risk Control Matrix - Sample for
Illustration

A Risk Control Matrix (RCM) provides a list of


controls to mitigate as much as possible risks
that emerges from transactions.

Creation of an RCM allows for visualization of


the current operation status and also
comparison of requisite controls, helping you
discover deficiencies in the actual business
flow and standardize work operations.

Test of Design - IA Manual Chapter 4.2
considerations
Design effectiveness refers to whether a control is suitably designed
to prevent or detect the mentioned risk. Consider the following :-

Does the control achieve its objective?

How is the control performed?

What is the frequency of the control?

How competent and experience is the person performing the control?


Test of Design - IA Manual Chapter 4.2
considerations
Is the control the only (key) control? Any compensating control(s)?
Test of Design – Performing IA Manual Chapter 4.2
Walkthrough

Procedures:
• Trace a transaction from origination, through to the company’s
accounting and information systems and financial report preparation.
• Use the following methods to verify the documentation; Inquiry and
observation of person performing the control, documentation review, and
inspection by comparing the supporting documents to the accounting records
(e.g. lease agreements, billings, etc.).

58
Test of Operational IA Manual Chapter 4.2
Effectiveness

 The purpose of Test of Operational Effectiveness is to gather


sufficient documented evidence on whether or not the controls as
documented are operating in practice.
 Testing involves acquiring evidence on the effectiveness of
the prescribed controls.

Observation Observing a reconciliation occur
Inspection Invoices are examined to assure that receiving
documents and proof of delivery are attached when
they are presented for payment
Re-performance Re-calculating the amortisation of lease revenue
Knowledge Assessment Interview the person performing the 3 way match,
assess if the person has sufficient understanding to
carry out the control activities.
Corroborative Inquiry Interview a second person to confirm the control
activity.

System Query Perform inquiry in system to validate the control


activities.
60
Sample Method IA Manual Chapter 4.2

Sampling enables information about a population characteristic


without having to test the entire population. Therefore, a
selection of items from the population that is representative of
the whole population is generally the most efficient testing
technique. Sampling involves making decisions about the
following:
• Identification of the population of items;
• How to select items from the population (selection
technique);
• Which items to select (time period);
• How many items to select (size of sample).
