Foreword

Recent economic events and increased regulatory scrutiny have impacted the importance of understanding and managing the risks, which drive uncertainty about the organizational success. Effective risk management helps organizations to understand the risks they are exposed to, put controls in place to counter threats, and also to effectively pursue their objectives. In a nutshell, risk management is an important aspect of an organization’s governance, management and operations.

In such a scenario, internal audit plays a very critical role by providing assurance that all the risks related to the activities of the organization are being identified, monitored and managed effectively. The Institute, from time to time, has issued guidance to help the members enhance their skill base and competencies in the area of risk management. This “Guide on Risk based Internal Audit Plan” is being issued by the Internal Audit Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to provide guidance on developing and implementing an effective Risk Based Internal Audit Plan.

I would like to congratulate CA. Charanjot Singh Nanda, Chairman, Internal Audit Standards Board and all the other members of the Board on issuance of this publication which provides updated guidance on this important area. The objective is to help internal auditors in embedding risk based approach thereby enabling them to meet stakeholder’s expectations.

I am confident that this Guide would help our members to play a leading role in promoting good risk management practices.

Preface

In today’s complex regulatory and compliance environment, while capitalizing on emerging opportunities, risk management assumes tremendous importance. Risk management systems encompass the policies, culture, processes, systems and other aspects of an organization that, taken together facilitate its effective and efficient operation by enabling it to assess current and emerging risks, respond appropriately to risks and significant control failures and to safeguard it’s assets. Assessment of risks should support better decision-taking, ensure that the board and management respond promptly to risks when they arise, and ensure that shareholders and other stakeholders are well informed about the principal risks and prospects of the organization. Internal auditors undoubtedly play a leading role in helping their organizations achieve an integrated, organization-wide approach to risk management which ultimately helps to create, enhance, and protect stakeholder value.

Considering the above, the Internal Audit Standards Board of the Institute is issuing this “Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan”. Accordingly, the Board is withdrawing its pervious publication “Guide to Implementing Enterprise Risk Management” issued in 2008. Internal auditors can through risk based auditing provide feedback on the adequacy of internal control as well as they can provide a source of information for monitoring risk. Further, the cycle of continually assessing risk, efficiently planning audit activities, and effectively performing, delivering, and reporting audit activities can result in overall lower risk to the organization. This Guide comprehensively explains the concepts of Risk Based Internal Audit Plan and provides a step-wise approach to effectively implement the same in an organization. It includes detailed guidance on risk appetite, understanding business environment, preparing audit universe, risk identification, risk prioritization and rating, assessing control environment, deriving residual risk rating and finally developing internal audit plan. Further, for enhancing the understanding of the readers, an illustrative case study including all the steps to prepare the RBIAP has also been also provided in the guide.

At this juncture, I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to CA. Amit Gupta, CA. Mohit Gupta, Shri Anurag Agarwal and CA. Sameer Mittal for sharing their experience and knowledge with us and preparing the draft of this Guide.

Chapter 1

Introduction

1.1 Traditionally, internal auditing was understood as one time exercise with limited documentation. Increase in the trend of frauds in the corporate sector over the last couple of decades has shifted the pendulum towards the need of a strong and robust internal auditing and internal control systems. Regulators have also become more vigilant towards the requirement of strong internal control system which resulted in the announcement of statutory obligations viz., Sarbanes Oxley Act in USA, Clause 49 of Listing Agreement as per SEBI and recently notified Companies Act, 2013 and rules thereunder. This has put organizations under increasing pressure to identify all the business risks they face and to explain how they manage them.

1.2 Risk-based Internal Auditing (RBIA) allows internal auditor to provide assurance to the Board of Directors that risk management processes are managing risks effectively, having regards to the risk appetite of the organization. Risk-based internal auditing begins by reviewing the organizational objectives, then considers the risks that impact on the achievement of those objectives, and examines the methodologies in place to mitigate those risks. The only defence auditors have in instances of corporate failures is sufficient, appropriate audit evidence that proves their innocence. This audit evidence will be the result of a well-planned and performed audit. An audit plan, currently a risk-based audit plan, is therefore a crucial component in the planning of an effective audit.

Objective 1.3 This guide provides guidance on developing and implementing an effective Risk Based Internal Audit Plan in an organization. This guide would be meant for the individuals who are already an internal auditor, preparing to become one or responsible for overseeing and controlling the business function(s).

Chapter 2

Need for Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

2.1 Preface to the Standards on Internal Audit, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India defines the term “internal audit” as, “Internal Audit is an independent management function, which involves a continuous and critical appraisal of the functioning of an entity with an view to suggest improvements thereto and add value to and strengthen the overall governance mechanism of the entity, including the entity’s strategic risk management and internal control system.”

Standard on Internal Audit (SIA) 1 “Planning an Internal Audit”, lays down that the internal auditor should, in consultation with those charged with governance, including the audit committee, develop and document a plan for each internal audit engagement to help him conduct the engagement in an efficient and timely manner.

2.2 Standard on Internal Audit (SIA) 13 “Enterprise Risk Management” mentions that “The internal auditor will normally perform an annual risk assessment of the enterprise, to develop a plan of audit engagements for the subsequent period. This plan will be reviewed at various frequencies in practice. This typically involves review of the various risk assessments performed by the enterprise (e.g., strategic plans, competitive benchmarking, etc.), consideration of prior audits, and interviews with a variety of senior management. It is designed for identifying internal audit key areas and, not for identifying, prioritizing, and managing risks directly for the enterprise. The internal audit plan, which should be approved by the audit committee, should be based on risk assessment as well as on issues highlighted by the audit committee and senior management. The risk assessment process should be of a continuous nature so as to identify not only residual or existing risks, but also emerging risks. The risk assessment should be conducted formally at least annually, but more often in complex enterprises. To serve this objective, the internal auditor should design the audit work plan by aligning it with the objectives and risks of the enterprise and concentrate on those issues where assurance is sought by those charged with governance.”

2.3 Internal auditor is expected to review business processes and various transactions to provide comfort to the management whether adequate internal controls are in place considering the nature and size of business operations. Considering the volume of the transaction and complexity of the business processes, it would not be possible to check 100% of the business transactions. The internal auditor usually, adopts sampling and judgment based on past experience and knowledge. However, this leaves a risk of gap in internal controls which may remain undetected. Accordingly, there is a need for auditors to follow risk based internal audit approach.

2.4 There are many challenges being faced by the internal auditors in performance of their duties. The major challenges include:

Mismatch in the expectations from and output of the internal audit function;

Audit risk;

Practical implementation of audit standards; and

Uncertainties due to changing environment – internal as well as external.

2.5 The internal audit function is, normally, expected to focus on areas of high risk, including both inherent and residual risk. The internal audit activity needs to identify areas of high inherent risk, high residual risks, and the key control systems upon which the organization is most reliant.

Audit risk – Audit risk refers to the risk that an auditor may issue unqualified report due to the auditor's failure to detect material misstatement either due to error or fraud. This risk is composed of inherent risk (IR), control risk (CR) and detection risk (DR).

Inherent risk – These risks are “all pervasive in nature” meaning they are inherent in all business activities. Inherent risk is a risk in ‘raw form’ before any risk treatment/ mitigation activity has been applied to it.

Residual risk – Residual risk is the level of risk that would remain untreated despite all mitigation efforts.

RBIAP Concepts

3.1 Risk Based Internal Audit Plan (RBIAP) is an important tool that helps internal auditor to respond to the challenges being faced by the internal auditor, and also enhances the quality of the services that the internal audit function provides. By following the structured approach for planning the internal audit, it could be easily concluded that:

A proper evaluation has been done to identify and assess the risk vis-a-vis risk appetite of the company.

Plan to respond to the risks are effective in managing inherent risks within the risk appetite.

Increased focus and rigorous response to risks where residual risks are not in line with the risk appetite.

3.2 RBIAP is an approach to develop the internal audit plan in such a manner that all the business processes covering both financial as well as operational activities are reviewed by internal audit function within a defined time cycle, generally, varying from 3 to 5 years. Also, ensuring that appropriate consideration is made and adequate balance is ensured to the following:

Risk underlying the business process.

Value that the internal audit can provide to the organization.

Effort involved in conducting the internal audit for a particular business process.

Risk appetite of the organization.

Coverage of all auditable areas within the defined time range.

Page 14: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Chapter 4

Responsibility for Developing RBIAP

4.1 The need to manage risks has become recognised as an essential part of good corporate governance practice. This has put organisations under increasing pressure to identify all the business risks they face and to explain how they manage them. In fact, the activities involved in managing risks have been recognised as playing a central and essential role in maintaining a sound system of internal control. While the responsibility for identifying and managing risks belongs to management, one of the key roles of internal audit is to provide assurance that those risks have been properly managed.

The Chief Internal Auditor, as designated by the audit committee, must establish a risk-based plan to determine the priorities and focus areas of the internal audit activity which are aligned to the business objectives and organization’s goals. The prime responsibility of developing the Risk Based Internal Audit Plan is with the Chief Internal Auditor. The Chief Internal Auditor must prepare the RBIAP and review the same on annual basis in the light of changing business environment, processes, technology, etc. having impact on the prevailing risk for the Company and its control environment.

4.2 The RBAIP, thus, prepared by the Chief Internal Auditor must be approved by the Audit Committee. Audit Committee assesses the appropriateness of the process followed for development of the RBIAP to ensure that due consideration is given to the following:

Consideration of all major risk for the company

Business objectives

Risk appetite of the company

Inputs from the key managerial persons of the company

Changes in the operational and regulatory environment.

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

5.1 The internal auditor takes into account the organization’s risk management framework, including using risk appetite levels set by management for the different activities or parts of the organization. If a framework does not exist, the internal auditor uses his/her own judgment of risks after consideration of input from senior management and the board. The internal auditor must review and adjust the plan, as necessary, in response to changes in the organization’s business, risks, operations, programs, systems, and controls.

5.2 Risk based internal audit planning includes formal annual planning, updating the plan before audit segments begin and periodic feedback from management and the audit committee regarding report content expectations. The internal audit scope is adjusted based on all of these factors and gives the internal auditor a keen ability to understand and react quickly to management and audit committee concerns regarding risk and audit coverage. Thus, there are two phases of successful implementation of the RBIAP. These include the following:

Develop and approve RBIAP Implement and update RBIAP

5.3 Methodology for development of risk based internal audit plan can be divided into following steps:

I Develop and Approve RBIAP

(i) Define objective, criteria and risk appetite

(ii) Understanding the business environment and processes

(iii) Prepare audit universe

(iv) Risk assessment

(a) Risk identification (b) Risk prioritization and rating

Page 16: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

(v) Assess control environment

(vi) Derive residual risk rating

(vii) Develop internal audit plan.

II Implement and update RBIAP

(i) Derive Annual Internal Audit plan (ii) Allocate resources, engagement scheduling and execution (iii) Re-assess risk and control environment (iv) Update RBIAP.

Process of Risk Based Internal Audit Planning

Define Objective, Criteria and Risk Appetite 5.4 Internal Auditor need to first define the objective of preparing the risk based internal audit plan for a particular organization. There are varied factors that need to be considered while defining the objective of the exercise, these may include:

Size and nature of business

Complexity of the business process

Resource constraint

Time horizon which the organization considers appropriate for review of all the business processes.

5.5 Internal auditor need to define the criteria that would be used for developing the internal audit plan. It would include the following:

Risk categorization

Risk assessment criteria

Criteria for assessing the control environment

Criteria to priorities and decide the frequency of audit. 5.6 It is very critical that the criteria for developing the RBIAP are documented in advance and approved to avoid any subjectivity on the outcome of the exercise. The key factors that need to be kept in mind while finalizing these criteria include the following:

Inherent risks – ensure all inherent risks are identified and assessed.

Residual risks – ensure all residual risks are identified and assessed.

Mitigating controls– ensure elements of control environment (e.g., level of automation, governance structure, etc.) are identified that could be linked to the individual events and/ or risks.

5.7 Internal auditor need to interact with the senior management and take a view on the risk appetite of the organization. Risk appetite of the organization can significantly impact the criteria that need to be used for the development of RBIAP. A Risk Based Internal Audit Plan should ensure that it covers all unacceptable current risks where management action is required. These would be the areas with high residual risks, i.e., high inherent risk and minimal key controls or mitigating factors. These would be the areas that senior management should get audited immediately. Identification, assessment and prioritization of the audit areas is dependent on the residual risk for the organization, which is monitored and evaluated in the light of risk appetite of the organization.

Risk rating depends on the criteria set by the organization to assess and prioritise its risk. Depending on the risk appetite of the organization, it could mean financial loss of ` 1 Lac could be ‘minor’ for a large PSU with annual profit of ` 500 crores but it could be major for an organization with annual profit of ` 50 Lacs.

Risk Categorization 5.8 According to the Internal Control Framework issued by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission, risk can be categorized as under: Operational – Risks that impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the

operations of the organization are categorized as operational risk. E.g., process delays in completing the activity, customer dissatisfaction, inadequate fund management, excess payment, etc. Some companies further categories operational risk into financial risk and non-financial risk depending on the direct impact of risk.

Reporting – Risk of incorrect financial reporting. Internal control weaknesses which may result into incorrect financial reporting are categorized at reporting risk, e.g., inadequate cutoff procedures, lack of senior management review of financial statements, etc.

Compliance – Risk that may result in non-compliance to the applicable regulatory requirements. E.g., delay in submission of taxes and returns, operating without obtaining the required licenses, etc. These may result into possible fines and penalties being imposed on the organization.

5.9 Organizations also classify the risk under the additional category depending on the nature of the business, e.g., a company operating in energy sector could categories the risk as under: Operational Financial Health, Safety and Environment Compliance Reporting Company operating in the technology intensive sector could categories the risk as under: Operational Financial Technology Compliance Reporting

Page 19: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

11

Risk Assessment Criteria 5.10 Risk need to be assessed in terms of severity of the impact that may come to the organization in the event of risk occurrence. Assigning the rating to the risk depending on the assessed severity is termed as risk prioritization. The typical risk prioritization is done on the scale of 1 to 5 as mentioned below:

Score 1 - Insignificant

Score 2 – Minor

Score 3 – Moderate

Score 4 – Major

Score 5 - Critical

Criteria for Assessing Control Environment 5.11 The control environment sets the tone of an organization, influencing the control consciousness of its people. It is the foundation for all other components of internal control, providing discipline and structure. Control environment factors include the integrity, ethical values and competence of the entity's people; management's philosophy and operating style; the way management assigns authority and responsibility; organizes and develops its people; and the attention and direction provided by the board of directors. The typical control environment assessment is done on the scale of 1 to 5 as mentioned below:

Score 1 – Very strong

Score 2 – Strong

Score 3 – Moderate

Score 4 – Weak

Score 5 – Almost missing.

Understanding the Business Environment and Processes 5.12 As per the requirement of Standard on Internal Audit (SIA) 1 “Planning an Internal Audit”, The internal audit plan should be comprehensive enough to ensure that it helps in achieving of the above overall

Page 20: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

12

objectives of an internal audit. The internal audit plan should, generally, also be consistent with the goals and objectives of the internal audit function as listed out in the internal audit charter, as well as the goals and objectives of the organisation.

5.13 The key to effective risk-based auditing is for the internal auditor to begin the planning process with a thorough understanding of the business process for the area under review. In combination with feedback from management and the audit committee, business objectives are reviewed, specific risks that could cause management not to meet those business objectives are identified, and controls established by management to mitigate these risks are evaluated. These business objectives, risks and controls should also be reviewed in relationship to the entity wide business objectives, risks, and controls to assist in developing comprehensive corporate decisions.

Below mentioned is a simple framework that can assist in understanding the business environment:

(i) Understand where the company is: Really understand. Taking complete stock of a company’s current situation – as regard to product innovation, customer buying patterns, PR branding, what are you selling and what you can sell.

(ii) Compare the company with the leader in the business: A critical comparison with the market leader will bring out the areas where most attention needs to be paid, because most often, the leading business has read the business environment right.

(iii) Engage with stakeholders: Constant dialogue with all stakeholders will lead to understanding the company’s niche and positioning in the competitive market.

5.14 SIA 1 further defines the steps that could be followed for obtaining the knowledge of the business. The internal auditor should obtain a level of knowledge of the entity sufficient to enable him to identify events, transactions, policies and practices that may have a significant effect on the financial information. Following are some of the sources wherefrom the internal auditor can obtain such knowledge:

Previous experience, if any, with the entity and the industry.

Legislation and regulations that significantly affect the entity.

Entity’s policy and procedures manual.

Page 21: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

13

Minutes of the meetings of the shareholders, board of directors, and important committees of the board such as, audit committee, remuneration committee, shareholders’ grievances committee.

Management reports/ internal audit reports of prior periods.

Newspaper/ industry journals.

Discussion with client’s management and staff.

Visits to entity’s plant facilities, etc., to obtain first hand information regarding the production processes of the entity.

Visits to the entity’s department where the accounting and other documents are generated, maintained, and the administrative procedures followed.

Prepare Audit Universe 5.15 The first important step towards putting the RBIAP on papers is the documentation of the Audit Universe. The Audit Universe is to be prepared on the basis of the business understanding obtained under previous step.

SIA1 defines audit universe as “Audit universe comprises the activities, operations, units etc., to be subjected to audit during the planning period. The audit universe is designed to reflect the overall business objectives and therefore includes components from the strategic plan of the entity. Thus, the audit universe is affected by the risk management process of the client. The audit universe and the related audit plan should also reflect changes in the management’s course of action, corporate objectives, etc.”

Professor Brian Cox writing in the Wall Street Journal in April 2013 explained “Quantum theory tells us that the universe we experience emerges from a bewildering, counterintuitive maelstrom of interactions between an infinity of recalcitrant sub-atomic particles.” Defining the internal audit universe is much simpler than that, although the principles may well be similar.

5.16 In simple terms, audit universe can be termed as the set of all auditable units/ departments/ business process and audit areas, collectively called as auditable entities. Preparation of audit universe and selection of auditable entities in the audit universe is the most critical activity which lays the foundation for developing a robust and effective Risk Based Internal Audit Plan.

Page 22: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

14

The important factor which could affect the selection of an auditable entity under the audit universe are:

(i) Organization vision, mission and objectives: The audit universe can include components from the organization’s strategic plan. By incorporating components of the organization’s strategic plan, the audit universe will consider and reflect the overall business objectives. Inputs from senior management and board should be obtained and assessment of risk and exposure affecting the organization should be carried out.

(ii) Expectations from the internal audit function: Audit universe need to factor all the expectations from the internal audit function. The internal audit plan, audit execution and the outcome of the internal audit process depends on the quality and comprehensiveness of the audit universe to gather all the expectations, focus areas and results expected from the performance of the internal audit activities.

(iii) Organization structure and set up: Organisation structure need to be understood while identifying the auditable entities. In case of highly centralized operations, more attention should be given to the auditable units at corporate, while in case of decentralized operations separate auditable entity need to be identified for plant/ branch/ regional office locations as applicable.

(iv) Geographical location of the organisation: Geographical location of the business set up also plays a key role in selection of units. Every location need to have a consideration and some place in the audit universe, however the identification of auditable unit need to be evaluated in consideration with other points. E.g., in case of regional office with smaller size of operations and lesser number of transactions, regional office can be considered as one auditable entity and all the business processes can be reviewed at that particular regional office together. However, if the scale of operations are larger, locations would need to be split into further functional areas e.g., Procurement - RO, Sales & Marketing – RO, HR and Payroll – RO, etc.

(v) Scalability of the operations: Scale of business operations should also be factored while deciding an auditable entity. Auditing an entity with very low scale may not be cost effective to be audited separately and may not give the actionable results as it would fall in the comfort range of the risk appetite of the organization.

Page 23: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

15

(vi) Organic linkage between the business process/ sub processes: It is becoming increasingly important, to perform the objective study and conduct end to end review of a business process so that organization level impact on the identified gaps can be assessed and more objective decisions could be taken by the management on the basis of result of the internal audit activities. Hence, it is vital to study the linkage between business process and sub process. E.g., it is more effective to review the complete process of Procure to Pay (P2P) so that financial implication and complete process gaps could be identified. Review of the procurement process or payment process in isolation would not provide effective root causing and implication assessment of the internal audit gaps noted during the review.

(vii) Sufficiency to justify cost of control: Internal audit function acts as a control activity and keeps the regular check on the functioning of the business activities. Internal audit requires a team of qualified professionals with expert knowledge on the subject matter. With the increase in the expectations from and responsibilities of internal audit professional, the cost of the internal audit function is also increasing. It is important to keep the adequate balance in the cost of the internal audit review and benefit envisaged to realize from the review. Hence, cost of internal audit should be kept in mind while identifying the auditable entities.

5.17 It is important to understand that it’s not the size of the audit universe that matters rather it is the extent of the focus for the internal audit plan in strategic and operational terms. Having understood the key factors to be kept in mind and the objective of preparing the audit universe, let’s have a quick glance at the steps that need to be followed for developing the audit universe. (i) Discussion with Management: Perform detailed discussion at all the

level of senior and top management including the board members to understand their expectation, objectives and key focus areas.

(ii) Sketch Audit Universe: Prepare the initial sketch of the audit universe containing the list of identified business process and auditable entities that need to be audited by the internal audit function.

(iii) Assess objectives for identified auditable entities: Align the objective of the internal audit with the objectives of the business and assess the objectivity of reviewing the identified auditable entities. The category of such objective could be:

Page 24: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

16

(a) Reliability and integrity of financial and operational Information (b) Effectiveness and efficiency of operations (c) Safeguarding of assets (d) Compliance with laws, regulations, and contracts

(iv) Re-validate Audit Universe: The audit universe and related audit plan are updated to reflect changes in management direction, objectives, emphasis, and focus. It is advisable to assess the audit universe on at least an annual basis to reflect the most current strategies and direction of the organization. The validation exercise is pervasive and continuous in nature until the annual plan is finalized and approved by the audit committee/ board.

Risk Assessment 5.19 The objective of the risk assessment is to assess the level of risk in the various business processes. Risk assessment focuses on the business environment, regulatory environment, organisation structure, organizational and business environmental changes and specific concerns of management and the audit committee to determine the areas of greatest risk. It also serves to aid the internal auditor in evaluating the control design to determine

Page 28: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

20

the desired audit scope. Risk assessment includes risk identification and then risk prioritization based on defined criteria.

Risk Identification 5.20 Risk identification is the process to identify all possible risk in the auditable entities identified at the time of preparation of the audit universe. This includes evaluation of ‘what can go wrong’ in the particular process attached with the identified auditable entity which can have any adverse impact on the organization. The adverse impact could be in the form of possible financial loss, operational inefficiency and ineffectiveness, statutory non-compliance, incorrect reporting, etc. The quality and effectiveness of the risk assessment depends on the comprehensiveness and completeness of the risk identification exercise.

5.21 The first step in the risk identification exercise is to identify the event which may affect the entity positively or negatively in achieving its objectives. Such events may be classified as risk and opportunities depending on its impact on the organization. Risk identification is followed by risk filtration steps. Risk can be all pervading; they can surface from the most obscure to the most obvious (but overlooked) areas. Similarly, their outcomes can also be from the immaterial to highly significant. These are the matters which are quite difficult to appreciate or evaluate at the time of risk identification and are therefore best left for the next state (Risk Prioritization). Nevertheless, given the practical limitations, some level of judgment will have to be applied in deciding what to include and what to exclude at the identification stage. Here, to ensure that no important matters are overlooked, it is always safer to begin by initially including all the risk and then filtering out everything which appears to be obviously insignificant and with remote probability of occurrence.

Risk Prioritization 5.22 The identified risk need to the prioritized based on the pre-defined criteria (Refer step 1 - Define objective, criteria and risk appetite). The typical risk periodization is done on the scale of 1 to 5 as mentioned below:

Score 1 - Insignificant

Score 2 – Minor

Score 3 – Moderate

Page 29: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

21

Score 4 – Major

Score 5 - Critical

5.23 There are various factors that could affect the risk prioritization and rating. Following factors need to be kept in mind while performing the risk prioritization exercise:

(i) “Auditable” risks associated with/ mapped to the business process, entity or location

(ii) Risk of non compliance (penalty, etc.)

(iii) Magnitude of Financial Loss

(iv) Significance of threat to Health, Safety & Environment (HSE)

(v) Risk to reputation of organisation

(vi) Possibility of fraud/ misappropriation

(vii) History of frauds or irregularity

(viii) Management’s assertion on impact

(ix) Magnitude of impact on organisational profitability

(x) Stability of IT systems

(xi) Complexity (volume of business, nature of business)

(xii) Results of earlier audits external/ internal

5.25 Some techniques of risk assessment are explained below:

Interviews: Internal auditor need to conduct interviews at all levels of management to identify the possible risk that could occur in the

Page 32: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

24

particular process as per the experience of the management personnel. Internal auditor can assess the level of understanding of the organization’s process, policies, systems used and controls in place during these interviews. This would help them in assessing the control environment around the particular auditable entity. We would discuss more about the control environment later in this chapter.

Surveys: Internal auditor can perform surveys to identify and assess the gravity of the risk and its possible impact on the organization. An important aspect of the survey is to prepare a qualitative questionnaire that would help in identification of the qualitative risk and its impact. The target audience need to be selected carefully while performing the survey so that results are not biased.

Workshops: The Internal auditor can also perform workshops with the selected managerial persons to identify the risk in the particular process and ask them to rate them based on the defined methodology. There are many tools that may be used to perform these workshops effectively.

Past events: The activities performed by the internal auditor during the business understating stage can also give lot of information to the auditor to identify the possible risks for the organization. This could include past events, annual report and directors statement, past internal audit reports, risk register, etc.

Internal auditors experience: Experience of the internal auditor also plays a key role in identifying the possible risks in the particular process of the organization. The gravity of the risk identified by the auditor from his experience can be moderated by using the techniques specified in the above mentioned bullets.

Prepare Risk Register 5.26 The consolidated form of all risks is referred to as “Risk Registers” since all such identified risks most often get listed in the form of a register. The typical contents of the risk register are listed below. Contents applicable and filled till the stage of risk assessment are as follows:

(i) Auditable Entity

(ii) Sub Process

(iii) Risk Description

The next step toward documentation of risk based internal audit plan is to document the detailed risk register containing the list of all the risks identified and the preliminary risk rating.

26

5.27 The next step is to prepare the summarized risk register. The objective of preparing the summarized register is to arrive at the consolidated risk rating for an auditable entity and assess the overall inherent risk in the auditable entity. There are two techniques which may be used for arriving at the summarized risk register:

(i) Arithmetic mean of preliminary risk rating: In this method, arithmetic mean of all the identified risk ratings are is calculated to arrive at the consolidated risk rating. Considering the simplicity of the technique, this is the most widely used technique to arrive at the summarized risk register.

(ii) Weighted average of preliminary risk rating: In this method, weights are assigned to all the identified risk on the basis of statistical computation of the probability and quantification of possible risk on the organisation. Weighted average of all the identified risk ratings is then calculated to arrive at the consolidated risk rating.

Assess Control Environment 5.28 Preliminary assessment of the risk provides the understanding and evaluation of inherent risk. Assessment of inherent risk alone is not sufficient to identify the audit areas requiring the larger focus from the internal audit function. The inherent risk need to be factored with the mitigating controls and the control environment around the underlying processes that could reduce the level of residual risk. Hence, it is vital to perform the assessment of control environment around the identified risks. The control environment thus assessed provides the assessment of the ‘likelihood’ factor of the identified risk.

Assessing likelihood of the happening of an event comes with its own challenges. It is relatively easy to put in place a pre-set methodology for the actual measurement of the rating by taking some percentages and assigning them on 1 to 10 rating. However, what’s most difficult is the foresight required to actually determining the probability of the risk. One technique used commonly is the history of past occurrence and the periodicity of those occurrences, which can help to get a better grasp over the probability.

Page 36: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

28

5.29 Some of the examples of situations that might influence the assessment of control environment are as below:

Inappropriate pay, reward and incentive structures which contribute to inappropriate behavior or excessive risk-taking.

Increasing employee turnover leading to insufficient experience and less reliable execution of controls. This may be the result of a number of failures in the control environment.

The absence of a defined code of conduct and ethics and/ or a whistleblower policy, absence of a process to evaluate the effectiveness of the code of conduct and ethics policy, a high number of reported frauds, or management over-ride of controls which can lead to inappropriate activity that is not detected and addressed timely.

Board’s capability and structure for effective governance. Key managers making business decisions without considering the

related risks; management may not exhibit risk and control consciousness in its decision making.

Processes relating to defining job descriptions for key positions may be weak, background checks and/ or reference checks are not consistently performed, or the organization has difficulty hiring and retaining qualified individuals.

5.30 The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) published the updated Internal Control – Integrated Framework in 2013. The framework states “The control environment is the set of standards, processes and structures that provide the basis for carryign out internal control across the organisation. The board of directors and senior management establish the tone at the top regarding the importance of internal control including expected standards of conduct. The control environment comprises the integrity and ethical values of the organsation; the parameters enabling the board of directors to carry out its governance oversight responsibilities; the organisational structure and assignment of authority and responsibility; the process for attracting, developing, and retaining competent individuals; and the rigour around performance measures, incentives, and rewards to drive accountability for performance. The resulting control environment has a pervasive impact on the overall system of internal control.”

5.31 There are various factors that could affect the assessment of control environment and its rating.

Page 37: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

29

Following factors need to be kept in mind while performing the assessment of control environment as mentioned below:

(i) Existence of preventive or detective control to mitigate risks associated with/ mapped to the business process, entity or location.

(ii) Legal compliance framework (iii) Appropriate and established IT Control environment (iv) Governance structure/ monitoring Mechanism (v) Documented policy and procedures (vi) Past incidents/ trend (vii) Organization’s sensitivity towards Health, Safety & Environment (viii) Fraud detection (ix) Balance of centralized versus decentralized operations within the

organization

There are two elements of a risk:

Impact Rating or Preliminary Risk Assessment Rating.

Likelihood Rating (also called probability) or Control Environment Rating.

Consequence and likelihood can be multiplied together to give a single measure of the significance of a risk, or a residual risk. For example, take a risk that purchases prices are not competitive. Assuming it has high impact on the organization’s cost of purchase, the impactrating could be major (scores 4) but the likelihood could be 3 due to moderate control environment. Table below describes the illustrative examples of calculating the residual risk scores.

Develop Internal Audit Plan 5.36 Business environment is very dynamic, typically three to five years internal audit plan is developed, considering the nature of business, business environment, stability of the business processes, changes in the objective of the management and expectations from the internal audit.

With certain adjustments based on management and audit committee input or regulatory requirements, low- risk areas would be audited every three years, moderate-risk areas audited every other year, and high-risk areas audited every year. The three-year audit plan should be revisited each year during the update phase of the risk assessment process and adjustments should be made based on new or changed risk factors. This methodology allows the internal auditor flexibility in a changing risk environment. Further consideration should be given to the following aspect while deriving the annual internal audit plan.

Feasibility of conducting an audit; Conduct of other reviews providing oversight; Mandated audit projects; Management requests; Audit and Evaluation Committee direction. 5.37 New priorities are determined based on these considerations; audits are defined for the top priorities. The outcome is a short-list of audit projects and activities to be conducted during the coming three-year planning horizon. An analysis of the proposed audit coverage of the organization is conducted in order to ensure an appropriately balanced audit plan. The project team considered the number of corporate risks covered by the plan, the number of priorities covered, and how the allocation of audit resources aligns with the organization’s expenditures.

Acceptable Range of Risks 5.38 At this stage it is important to understand and define the organisation’s ‘risk appetite’. One method of deciding which risks to accept is to place them on a grid of Risk and Control Environment rating. This enables the board/ audit committee to define the action it requires internal audit function to take for each likelihood/ consequence combination. The boundary between the acceptable risks and those which require managing is known as the ‘risk appetite’. If inherent risks cannot be managed below this line by ‘treatment’ then they will have to be terminated, transferred or tolerated.

Selection of Risks 5.39 At this point, the risk and audit universe shows risks, their scores and the audits linked to them. There will be a range of scores and, in drawing up the audit plan, a policy will have to be established about which risks to cover and how often. It is unlikely that the board, or audit committee, will require assurance on the management of every risk above the risk appetite, every year. They may require assurance on the risks with a high likelihood of significant/ critical losses every year but other risks above the risk appetite every two or three years. Note the audit action to be taken and the next audit year in the appropriate columns. The diagram below shows a possible method of assessing the type of work and frequency. The thick line represents the risk appetite (the equation of the line is control risk = inherent risk – risk appetite).

Planning and Developing Internal Audit Plan 5.41 At this stage, the risk and audit universe shows risks, their scores and the audits linked to them. Internal audit function needs to plot the auditable entities in the following zones based on the residual risk ratings and the immediate objective of the management and audit committee. (i) High Risk: This is said to be the unacceptable zone, where the

residual risk score is more than 12. These are the areas with high inherent risk and low control environment. These areas need to be audited every year until the residual risk are reduced and brought in the manageable zone.

(ii) Medium Risk: This is said to be the manageable zone, where the residual risk score is more than 8 and less than or equal to 12. These are the areas with minor to critical risk and varying control environment. These areas need to be audited once in every two year until the residual risk are reduced to advisable zone.

(iii) Low Risk: This is said to be the advisable zone, where the residual risk score is more than 4 and less than or equal to 8. These are the areas with insignificant to Major risk and strong to almost missing control environment. These areas need to be audited once in every three year until the residual risk are reduced acceptable zone.

(iv) Insignificant Risk: This is said to be the acceptable zone, where the residual risk score is less than or equal to 4. These are the areas with low risk and strong control environment. These areas need not be audited unless Board/ Management/ Audit Committee directs considering the recent changes or business objectives. This is the zone which contains the areas within the risk appetite of the organisation.

Update Risk Register and Audit Universe 5.42 The risk register containing all identified and assessed risk need to be updated with following: (i) Factors Affecting Control Environment (ii) Control Environment Rating (iii) Risk Category (iv) Risk Rating

“15. The next stage in planning an internal audit is establishing the scope of the engagement. The scope of the engagement should be sufficient in coverage so as to meet the objectives of the engagement. The internal auditor should consider the information gathered during the preliminary review stage to determine the scope of his audit procedures. The nature and extent of the internal auditor’s procedures would also be affected by the terms of the engagement. In case the internal auditor is of the view that circumstances exist which would restrict the auditor from carrying out the procedures, including any alternative procedures, considered necessary by him, he should discuss the matter with the client to reach a conclusion whether or not to continue the engagement. The scope of his engagement should documented comprehensively to avoid misunderstanding on the areas covered for audit. The internal auditors are often confronted with a situation where client denies access to certain information or has a negative list of areas where internal audit is not desired. There are also situations where while the client requires internal audit procedures to be carried but findings are not to form part of the reportbut to be reported separately.

16. Further, in case of information technology based environment, the scope of engagement would include the extent to which internal auditor are permitted to access the system and reports which can be viewed and those which can be exported. Further, system based audit tools that an internal auditor can use to draw and analyze the data should be clearly understood in the scope of his engagement.”

5.46 The annual internal audit plan need to be approved by the board/ audit committee and should be developed on the basis of the three year RBIAP and the following additional factors:

Changes in the business environment Changes in the organisation structure

Page 50: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

Guide on Risk Based Internal Audit Plan

42

Changes in the business processes Changes in the regulatory environment Time of last audit engagement Availability of the skilled resources Management’s feedback and expectation from internal audit Changes in employee and government relations Recent change in accounting system Recent change in key personnel

5.47 The audit scope for the year need to be developed considering the above mentioned factors. The scope, thus, prepared would be finalized for an year and approved by the board/ audit committee. The audit scope comprises of the following:

Auditable entities Locations to be covered Tentative schedule of the audit Key objective of the audit Factors which define the limits of the audit including processes

specifically excluded Any special considerations, such as management requests, provided

they are acceptable Personnel carrying out the audit, including any special responsibilities

Allocate Resources, Engagement Scheduling and Execution 5.48 We can decide on the staff resources required to deliver the internal audit plan by deciding on the number of days each level of auditor is required for each audit, adding these up, and comparing them with the total days available. Note that audits will vary in length, even those which are high risk could be done very quickly. It may only take logging into organisation’s intranet to confirm that it has a strategy, and this is being communicated. The resource requirements should be regularly updated to ensure the plan can be completed, especially, if audits are added and staff leave.

Next step is to perform the detailed engagement scheduling based in the

Page 51: Guide on Risk Based Internal Auudit Plan

RBIAP — Development and Implementation

43

allocated resources, availability of the auditee, target date to finalise the report and criticality and extent of audit required. The schedule need to be agreed with the auditee before execution. The schedule need to be realistic to ensure adequate coverage of the work plan, assessment of all the identified risks and testing of all the controls. This is followed by the execution of the internal audit as per the defined approach and methodology of the internal audit function of the organisation and the relevant auditing standards.

Steps for Audit Scheduling, Resource Allocation and Execution

Re-assess Risk and Control Environment and Update RBIAP 5.49 SIA 1 “Planning as Internal Audit” defines audit universe as “Audit universe comprises the activities, operations, units, etc., to be subjected to audit during the planning period. The audit universe is designed to reflect the overall business objectives and therefore includes components from the strategic plan of the entity. Thus, the audit universe is affected by the risk management process of the client. The audit universe and the related audit plan should also reflect changes in the management’s course of action, corporate objectives, etc.”

Planning involves developing an overall plan for the expected scope and conduct of audit and developing an audit programme showing the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures. Planning is a continuous exercise. A plan once prepared should be continuously reviewed by the internal auditor to identify any modifications required to bring the same in line with the changes, if any, in the audit environment. However, any major modification to the internal audit plan should be done in consultation with those charged with governance. Further, the internal auditor should also document the changes to the internal audit plan.

Therefore, the preparation of the risk based internal audit plan is based on the defined methodology to be followed and the various steps as described earlier. It is vital to note that the entire exercise of the risk identification, prioritization and development of audit plan is not scientific and some level of judgement and past experience is involved while preparing the risk based internal audit plan. The risk registers prepared should be reviewed periodically and updated while performing the actual internal audit.

5.50 As discussed earlier, risk identification is the process to identify all possible risk in the auditable entities identified at the time of preparation of the audit universe. This includes evaluation of ‘what can go wrong’ in the particular process attached with the identified auditable entity which can have any adverse impact on the organization. The adverse impact could be in the form of possible financial loss, operational inefficiency and ineffectiveness, statutory non-compliance, incorrect reporting etc. The quality and effectiveness of the risk assessment depends on the comprehensiveness and completeness of the risk identification exercise. The risk identification can be more comprehensive and complete by the exercise of continuous exercise of re-validating the risk along with the audit execution.

The risk based internal audit plan should be evaluated every year by repeating the steps involved in development of risk based internal audit plan to identify if there are some auditable entities for which residual risk score has increased or decreased and that is required to be audited more often, or the same be brought down to the manageable/ acceptable zone to reduce the frequency of internal audit.
