The Optimal IA Schedule - How should the Internal Audit Schedule be set up?

GOOD AUDITING PRACTICE (cGAP)

Hi all,

Here’s an area I continually struggle with…how should the audit schedule be set up??? Everytime I think I’m on the right track I either second-guess myself, prove myself wrong, or have the registrar give suggestions. I just cant seem to get it right.

Attached is my current internal audit schedule and would like some comments, criticism, etc…on it. What’s missing? What dont I need? Would it be effective or compliant? Anything…

Your schedule looks very similar to a style that I like to use (see below). Are the names listed in your schedule departments, activities, or processes?
