A new internal audit model can help internal auditors accomplish that objective by leveraging existing activities to continuously monitor, manage and improve business performance based on four key auditing principles. Compliance Viewed as a traditional internal audit role, compliance audits test past events and transactions to determine whether previous actions are in compliance with policies and procedures, laws and regulations. Internal auditors can continuously review control reports to validate that processes are in place for timely reconciliation. Assurance For up-to-the-moment testing, continuous monitoring systems must be in place to oversee events, transactions, and results and to generate reports that highlight early warning signs that something is outside the bounds of tolerance. By regularly analyzing and reviewing control reports generated by a system, auditors can provide a level of continuous assurance that supports stakeholder confidence that everything is under control at all times. These real-time reports keep current events from becoming out-of-control problems. Business Performance Improvements Internal auditors continuous reviews of business processes for effectiveness and efficiency can lead to improved business. Many of the control reports auditors collect can be compared to benchmarks or best practices. With this knowledge, changes can be made that add value to the organization as a whole.
