Services-Governance, Risk and Compliance Simplified


CC_-_50_-_Lazy_Auditor




Lazy Auditor is a term of endearment as we typically believe that a lazy auditor will:

  • Not waste effort on the duplication of work and would typically use current information and available as well as templates, risk assessments, engagement documentation and other items.
  • Will utilize as many resources as they can get their hands on to decrease the amount of work to be performed and
  • Will stick to the audit program and will not scope creep, resulting in the delivery of the audit in scope, in budget and aligned with the internal audit operational requirements.

Along with the above the typical audit contains 80% similar with the business processes implemented by other businesses. The amount of time spent in preparation and execution of the audit can be significantly decreased.
 

Lazy auditor is a product which can be obtained through a monthly subscription service or once off purchase, based on your needs and requirements. The solution offered includes:

  • A scoping document for the engagement.
  • A pre-populated audit notification letter.
  • A pre-completed client assistance schedule.
  • A risk assessment of the environment but the likelihood and impact has not been defined.
  • The required controls are documented to assist the auditor in discussing the type and nature of the controls expected (in certain cases alternate controls may be provided as well)
  • The audit procedures to be executed (The sample sizes are specifically excluded to ensure appropriate customization of the audits to meet the needs of the audit committee)
  • The possible findings which can be used for failure of the control would be documented which includes:
      • Observation
      • Risk
      • Require control / Control failure
      • Required or corrective action.

The solution is Microsoft based and does not require a specific tool for it to work as required.
 

When purchasing the audit documentation, you will obtain the latest version of the documentation.
 

When subscribing to the service, you will receive the latest updates of the audit programs as well as to Beta version of new audit programs and systems which is in development.

The subscription service also allows for the uploading of your audit plan for the year and the development of the new audit programs would be based on the number of requests received from the various subscribers.
 

This solution is an offsite solution only.
 

The documentation is compliance with ISO, IIA and best practice.
