____________________________________________________________________
As organizations strive to enhance their risk management capacity, be more responsive to regulatory requirements and serve customers profitably, there is need for organizations to strengthen internal audit capability by adopting and internalizing analytic tools into internal audit functions and processes.
CAAT – Computer Assisted Audit Tools - is a data analytics software that aids the process of auditing by increasing audit coverage, guarantees data integrity and ensure more effective audits.
Increasing number of audit professionals admit that data analytics skills are essential to effective delivery of their internal audit functions. Also, stakeholders’ expectations of internal audit to leverage data analytics in its assurance functions have been on the increase according to a 2016 industry survey by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
Despite the fact that data analytics and CAAT have been a part of auditing for nearly thirty years, many organizations are still struggling with adopting analytics and effective implementation of CAAT to enhance internal audit capability.
In our opinion, there are five best practices steps to effective implementation of CAAT and successfully incorporating analytics into internal audit processes.
