Selecting Audits To Be Executed
HOPEX Internal Audit provides the audit director with decisional help in selecting audits to be executed.
A report enables evaluation of coverage of risks, processes and entities in the audit process.
You can sort audits according to certain criteria, in order to:
• view past audits
• find audits planned but not finally executed
Viewing the audit coverage report
HOPEX enables description of entities, risks and processes. It is often necessary to audit these regularly.
A report provides information on the number of audits executed on each entity, risk or process between two specified dates. It indicates elements that need to be audited.
The audit director can access this report.
To access this report:
1. In Audit > Decisional Reports, click Audit Coverage.
2. In the edit window, select a begin date and end date.
3. Select the object type, depending on whether you want to study coverage of risks, processes or entities.
4. If required, select the score obtained by the audit or its status.
5. Refresh the report by clicking the
Refresh button
at the bottom of the report.
For each audited object (below, processes), the report presents:
• The number of audits executed
• The name of the last audit
• The effective end date of the audit or its state if the audit is in progress
• The score of the audit.
The audits that appear in the report are those that have at least been publishes.
Objects covered by an audit are those connected to the audit
Scope. See
"Audit scope".
For risks covered by an audit, we must also define the type of risk to which they belong in order that they appear in the report. In this report risks are classified by risk type. These types of risk are defined by the administrator in the audit environment.
