Becoming a subject matter expert and remaining eager to learn. People do love to witness such behavior, especially in the audit industry.

Having automated controls in place does call for less human errors. It makes things simple and causes less stress. It makes things easier to keep track of and it also makes it easier for companies to be visible. Versus when things are not automated. Errors can occur and go undetected.

But what if the controls don’t stop the leaders from getting into a negative mind state. What if they just have a knack for being unethical and just so happen to be good at their roles and made it to a high position? What do you recommend is done in this sort of scenario?

That is something that gains a great deal of creditability. Creditability as an auditor shows that the individual encompasses noble character.

Expecting the vendor to provide adequate training beyond the basic levels is very helpful. I would imagine that you would identify these expectations initially before any business is conducted with the vendor. Is that right? I would like to know your thoughts.

What are 1-2 less obvious inventory control measures used. Are these measures effective?

I would say some of the lesss obvious control measures include hidden cameras that capture a wide range of footage. In addition to the…[Read more]

Do you think upper level management really plays a role in the OTC process? I feel like more times than not, they delegate that sort of stuff to the middle line management. Honestly, I think everyone…[Read more]

What are some ways you think consumers can protect themselves, and retailers/vendors protect their customers? Many people are still oblivious to this growing issue in the consumer world.

I would of probably though of miskeyed information of the order. I guess because that is very common. In all reality theft is actually just as common when it comes to the OTC process. The examples you made are very valid, and I am sure each of our very own class mates have experienced one them. I know, I…[Read more]

Assertions are important in the audit world. It is pretty much what audits revolve around. What was learned through inquiry, what was seen, what is factual? These are some questions I ask myself after walkthroughs with clients, during my audits. It all goes back to assertions!!

Especially the point about completeness. I know for me in my current role, Completeness and accuracy are things that come up alot in meetings, audits, etc. It is a very valuable piece in audit. Especially when attestations are said to be occuring.

The point you made is true. How about when it comes to IT Auditing? It applies the same in a different context. Instead of reviewing financial statements, an auditor may review user (privileged) access to tools that generate financial statements, rights to promote code into production etc.
