Rightly said, Wen Ting and Professor Yao. I totally agree that the audit process cannot be closed without resolving each issue found in the audit. In order to do that, I also believe auditors should constantly communicate with management to inform what issues are found and what needs to be corrected for controls to operate properly. Thank you for…[Read more]

Hi Paul,
Thank you for sharing your experience! Several days ago, I had a chance to talk to an IT Audit manager from MetLife. And he described an internal auditor’s role as “The role of internal audit is to provide independent assurance that an organization’s risk management, governance and internal control processes are operating effectively.”…[Read more]

Priya and Paul,
I really thank you both sharing your experiences and explaining steps of the audit process. I’ve also heard that it is absolutely labor intensive to collect right evidence/documentation for auditees.
As I have a none of an experience in internal auditing, could you tell me how long it took to complete an auditing process? I…[Read more] -

Annamarie,
I appreciate sharing your experience!. I also had an experience similar to yours regarding sending/receiving invoices through an automated system. The one I used was, however, nothing close to SAP system, though. I used the in-house developed system while I was working for a grocery store. The system only comprised simple functions…[Read more]

You hit it right on the head as it is crucial to set up the right risk management plan within the organization. One of the…[Read more]

Abhay & Deepali,
Correct. And that formal training should be up-to-date periodically because hackers/attackers are always finding ways to attack our precious information assets.

Sean,
I had a similar experience when I was in the Army. Our personal removable devices were all blocked. If we tried to use it, an exotic warning screen was displayed on the screen and the computer even made a warning siren sound. In addition to that, for the security purpose, an intranet was used in the Army bases.

Sean,
Thank you for your reply! I really like you mentioned “up to no good” personnel. They are bugs in any entities. Personally, I can’t get along with those people. The way I look at them is they are nothing but harming our organizations. Can you think of any instances of preventing them harming our organizations or even not letting them into…[Read more]

Annamaire,
I can’t agree more than what you said on your post. Auditors should be knowledgeable of what they are auditing. For example, as an IT auditor, he/she should be aware of not only information technology systems of auditees, but their business and financial structures as well, You mentioned about the relationship between auditor and…[Read more]

Mansi,
Great post. it was a pleasure to read your post that you pointed out the control environment actually helps an organization spend less expenditure fixing incidents which could happen because employees are not mindful or conscious of their own actions against security management. An implementation of controls is often considered to be an…[Read more] -

Professor Yao,
Without a doubt, it is salient for financial/operational auditors to have some knowledge of understanding of technology. The reason why I have said that is financial and operational companies are living in technology. Technology systems are a backbone of their business operations. It is literally impossible for those companies…[Read more]
