The annual audit should be conducted in an efficient and focused manner to provide the audit assurance required for reporting, substance and compliance. The audit must be constructive and assist in identifying the risk factors attaching to each entity. The identification of risk areas will facilitate management in implementing approaches and controls appropriate in managing that risk.
The audit review of internal procedures and controls will be used as an opportunity to review the effectiveness and operation of the existing controls and suggest improvements in operational procedures, where required.
