ABC BANK Source: Protiviti KnowledgeLeader 3 Internal Audit Plan - Overview Internal Audit Plan - Overview rThe audit plan was developed using a risk based audit approach. Utilizing experience and understanding of the banks operations as well as industry knowledge, internal audit identified auditable areas, performed a risk assessment for each of these areas, and assigned each of these a risk rating of high, medium or low. rInternal Audit considered the following factors, as well as knowledge of the Bank, in determining the risk rating for each auditable area: 4Discussions with Bank Management which provided insight regarding issues and risks in the auditable areas 4Potential impact that the auditable area may have on the financial position of the Bank 4Other environmental factors, such as past audit results, changes in personnel and operations, past and current emphasis by regulators, and future business strategies rThis risk assessment process will be performed on an ongoing (at least annually) basis to ensure changing risk factors, including losses, operational changes or turnover are continually monitored. rA cycling approach to the internal audit plan was used, whereby high risk areas are audited on an annual basis, and medium to low risk areas are audited over a 18 to 24 month cycle.
