Internal Control Profiles
The internal control process is broken down into different parts:
• Control Library Definition
• Control Execution
• Control assessment
• Control Testing
• Issue and Action Plan Management
In HOPEX Internal Control, profiles intervene in different steps of this process: Functional Administrator, Internal Control Director, Internal Controller, Business User (IC).
The Offline application is used for testing of controls offline. It essentially concerns the internal controller.
In the framework of a test, the internal controller:
• completes workpapers
• assesses controls via creation of questionnaires
• creates issues and action plans
Offline Mode Test Execution Steps
The test is defined in the HOPEX Internal Control Web solution and can be executed offline in the Offline application. Using export tools, test data is transmitted from one application to the other.
