Following Up Audit Plans
HOPEX Internal Audit enables follow-up of audit plans according to different criteria.
Displaying Audit Plan Follow-Up Reports
Several reports enable audit plan execution follow-up.
To access audit plan reports:
1. Open the audit plan properties.
2. Select the Plan Reports tab.
Supervision
This report offers a summary of audit plan audits according to different criteria:
• Origin
• Priority
• Category
• Score
• Status
Workload and resources
This report compares scheduled resources and workload with effective resources and workload.
There are two types of audit:
• Compliance audits (to a standard such as SOX for example).
• Efficiency audits, which aim to improve enterprise operation independently of regulatory constraints.
Resources allocation
The chart displayed in this report enables comparison of resources available (auditors), resources required and resources assigned. By default, results relate to the current year, but you can display results for a precise period.
Gantt report
The Gantt report comprises two parts:
• A Gantt chart of audit plan audits scheduled between selected dates.
• A Gantt chart of occupation of auditors on audits between selected dates.
Expenses
This report shows all expenses linked to a plan, as well as breakdown by expense category and by auditor.
It allows the director to plan future audits.
Closing Audit Plans
When all audit activities are completed, the audit director can close the audit plan.
The effect of this action is to close all audits in progress or that have not been canceled.
