Elaboration on Internal Auditing Organization and Operation
Purpose of Internal Audit
The purpose of setting up internal audits at OEP is to examine and evaluate the validity of internal control systems, measure operational efficiency and compliance with applicable laws, and provide improvement suggestions whenever needed so as to ensure the continuous effective implementation of internal control.
Internal Auditor Setup
Our company has one internal auditor who is directly responsible to the Board of Directors.
Operation of Internal Audits
1. Scope of Audit:
Internal auditing works include inspecting and evaluating the adequacy and validity of the internal control systems of the company’s departments as well as performance in business activities.
2. Target of Audit:
Targets include all business activities that are responsible by all units of the company and associated branches.
3. Method of Audit:
In principle, auditors should conduct onsite auditing on the unit under audit and may ask the unit under audit to provide documents, accounting books, certificates, and other printed information for auditing.
4. Internal Audit Operating Procedures:
- Audit works include audit planning, information inspection and assessment, result communication, and follow-up reviews.
- Annual audit plans should be based on risk assessments. Audit procedures should be established for individual cases and compiled into work sheets.
- At the end of an onsite audit, audit results must be fully communicated to the head of the unit under audit. When necessary, improvement plans and expected date of completion for the unit under audit should be obtained, and auditors should track any actions of improvements.
5. Submission of Audit Report:
- Auditors should truthfully disclose errors and irregularities identified during inspection in audit reports, and
- conduct follow-up on these findings and produce them into a follow-up report.
