Maturing
the use of data analytics
In the internal audit practice the use of data analytics as part of the
audit process is usually part of a continuum. It tends to start off in ad
hoc use, then move to repetitive use, and, finally, to continuous auditing
and continuous monitoring. In this article, John Verver from ACL Services
Ltd. examines the typical evolution in using data analytics. Click here the rest of John's article!

Communication Tips All a Twitterby Robbie Miller Kaplan
author of How to Say it When You Don't Know What to Say: The Right Words For Difficult Times Illness and Death and How to Say it in Your Job Search
We’ve witnessed the power of Twitter; communications concerning the Iranian election protests and the death of Michael Jackson spread like wildfire. “Tweets,” short messages of 140 characters or less, allow users to blast messages to their followers who can then “Retweet” or “RT” to others following them. This is the newest way to communicate online but is it a viable tool for you?
Joel Comm, author of “Twitter Power,” presents a persuasive and instructive case for using Twitter. To better understand how and why to tweet, check out Joel’s blog post on the “Fourteen Types of Tweets:”

AuditNet is currently building fraud analytics into audit work programs to provide auditors with a new tool for compliance with the standards. We will also be working on a monograph on Building Fraud Detection into the Audit Process.
AuditNet is also negotiating with several organizations to offer low cost training for basic auditing, fraud and internal controls. Watch for press releases on these new initiatives.
New audit programs are also now available. Subscribers may access these documents now.
AuditNet articles will now include the ability to provide feedback and comments. We are looking at a way to rate audit programs as well. Stay tuned!

AUDITNET® SURVEYS Public School Auditors 2009
When I worked at a large school district as the only internal auditor I conducted a survey to benchmark and determine the state of auditing in public school districts in the U.S. The survey was last updated in 2005 the year that I ended my career in public education. Recently I was asked if the survey had ever been updated and decided that it would be worthwhile for public school auditors to see what has changed. I am contacting public school districts to complete the survey but would appreciate any public school auditors to participate.

All of us live in networks - systems of relationships at work, in
communities, and with our families. We create networks because we're
social animals and because without them miscommunication will foil our
goals.
James H. Freis Jr., director of the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), said it's no mistake that "network" is in the agency's name. "First and foremost, FinCEN is a network," he said. "We bring together data and reports from across geographic lines, dozens of law enforcement agencies, and from many financial institutions. This enables FinCEN to see the big picture of possible crime."

Navigating GRC and Audit
GRC and the Use of Technology By: Christopher Fox
While technology is an important component of GRC, it is probably more appropriate to view it as an enabler of effective GRC. Technology is only one dimension in the evolution of risk management maturity from an ad-hoc environment through to an optimized environment. Technology can be used to assist in eliminating organizational silos, providing a holistic view of risk and integrating risk management with performance management. Read the rest of the story here! Data Analytics
Data analytics’ role in business assurance: Audit technology takes center stage (Part 1) by John Verver CA, CISA, CMC
The need for assurance and audit
The past eight years have seen unprecedented business turbulence, with corporate fraud and subsequent corporate collapses compounded recently by one of the worst periods of economic uncertainty in memory. It is hard to think of another time when there has been as great a need for assurance over the integrity of business activities, and for that matter, those of government as well.
The need for internal audit, a profession dedicated to providing assurance, is greater than ever, and auditors are increasingly recognized as playing a critical role within the organization. Expectations are also rising that internal audit should be providing not only assurance over the business, but also the value-added activities that the profession has declared as part of its mandate.

June 1, 2009 (Oakton, Virginia):
Oakton, Virginia - AuditNet has created a new group for
auditors on the NING social networking site. You can
find the site at
http://auditnet.ning.com/. I invite auditors to join
by going to
http://auditnet.ning.com/main/invitation/new. The
site features a blog, discussion forum and the
opportunity for auditors to network for professional
purposes. This new tool complements the LinkedIn,
Google, and Yahoo networking sites established by
AuditNet for auditors. These all provide unlimited
opportunities for auditors to reach out and share with
one another. AuditNet also is now available on Twitter @auditnet. Twitter combines the concept of microblogging with instant messaging. Auditors that do not think of Twitter as an effective tool for professionals need to think again! I am finding there are audit, security, and control specialists who have established a Twitter presence and are finding ways to use it to open new lines of communication. Follow AuditNet on Twitter (see the home page) and you will receive special offers that will not be available to other users.
These resources complement AudiTalk, the AuditNet Discussion Forums and GANG and YANG . Together with the Professional Audit Information Network on LinkedIn these tools provide more opportunities for the global audit community to network and share knowledge and resources than ever before.

Ask the Auditor
Each month I select one question submitted to Ask the Auditor and provide an answer using the same digital tools and techniques that I recommend to all auditors.
Audit Rating Systems
Q;
I would like to get your advice on ratings of the
processes. In our department we would like to rate a process audited
and we cannot come up with good wording of ratings. We would like to
have 3 possible ratings of processes: 1. Appropriate 2. Improvement
needed 3. Inappropriate Would it be possible to get any other
wording of ratings, as we do not really like
appropriate/inappropriate words. Are there any guidelines on this?
A: I have
received this question from several internal audit departments. I
have found that internal audit departments use various
rating/ranking systems. The IIA
has issued a report on expressing opinions on audit reports which
references grading scales however there is no specific standard or
guideline on ranking. That being said, audit departments should
consider implementing an audit rating system approved by the audit
committee. A rating system facilitates conveying to the board a
consistent and concise assessment of the net risk posed by the area
or function audited. All written audit reports should reflect the
assigned rating for the areas audited.
In order to provide general guidance for the audit community on methodologies, AuditNet developed a Monograph on Audit Rating Systems which includes examples used by different organizations. If you have a rating/ranking methodology you would like to share send it to auditnet@gmail.com. Individuals will receive a copy of the completed monograph.

Audit Programs with TopCAATs Tests
The developers of TopCAATs, the flagship product of Reinvent Data are writing audit programs that include tests using their software. They have graciously offered to share these audit programs with AuditNet®. These will be added to the subscriber area as they become available.
According to Charlie Walker, the founder of Reinvent Data;
The idea behind these is to look for ways that TopCAATs can be integrated into the audit, and to provide our users with practical ideas of how they can use the TopCAATs tools. One of the challenges that we have noticed with the adoption of CAATs is the application of the tools – many users find it difficult to adapt existing methods to using CAATs because they don’t know which tools to use in which situation. So, we are looking for existing traditional tests that can be adapted/improved by the use of CAATs (and specifically which TopCAATs tools to use).
If you have not already tried out TopCAATs, you can download a 30 day free trial of TopCAATs. You can also get a 20% discount on the cost of TopCAATs licenses by using the voucher code AUDITNET09”
