Instruction for Presentation: (For this assessment, you can choose any other organisation, which must
be approved by your assessor.)
You are now to present a summary of your written report at the Board meeting of your selected
organisation using PowerPoint (maximum of six slides). Also present at the Board meeting will be a
Board Member and the CFO. The presentation will need to be recorded as audio or video recording
and must be approximately five minutes in length.
You will require the help of two people to complete this assessment: one to play the role of the Board
Member and another to play the role of the CFO. These two people can be drawn from colleagues,
family or friends. You will be interacting with both people in this presentation, so they will be working
from the Appendix 2: Briefing notes. Each of the participants must ask the questions that have been
allocated to them (i.e. different questions have been allocated for Participant 1 and Participant 2).
At the end of your presentation, each of the participants must then complete the Appendix 3:
Template to gather feedback. This provides feedback on how clearly you have conducted the
presentation. You must also ensure you obtain appropriate approvals to conduct and record a
presentation in this setting so meeting participants must sign the Appendix C: Audio/Video recording
consent form and you must submit the signed form as part of your assessment evidence for this
activity.
Before you commence your presentation, review the ‘Briefing notes’ to ensure you will have the
appropriate information to provide in your verbal responses to the participants’ questions.
The responses you provide to the participants’ questions in the Briefing notes must be
completed and submitted as part of the assessment evidence for this activity.
When you have finished your audio or video recording, you will need to submit this file to your
trainer/assessor as evidence.
In your presentation, you need to:
1. Summarise the main issues from your written report (in Part A). This summary will be documented
in the slides. Use headings and bullet points to format and present your summary of the main
issues.
2. Answer the questions asked by the Board Member and the CFO (see Appendix 2: Briefing notes).
These questions can be asked at the end of your presentation.

Although every audit project is unique, the audit process is similar for most engagements and
usually consists of nine stages. Through these stages, the Internal Audit and Compliance Team
will determine ways to minimise risks and increase efficiencies within the area. Stakeholder
involvement is critical at each stage of the audit process. An audit will result in a certain
amount of time being diverted from the area personnel’s usual routine. One of the key
objectives is to minimise this time and avoid disrupting ongoing activities.
a) Plan. The Internal Audit and Compliance Team will develop an audit plan based
on a review of all pertinent information. Sources may include, but are not
limited to: a risk assessment, internal and external evaluations and
management guidance.
b) Notify. The Internal Audit and Compliance Team will schedule a meeting with the
department manager and the senior managers of the process to be audited;
identify the scope and objectives of the audit, how long it is expected to last and
what the responsibilities for all parties are in the audit process. Any factors that may
impact the audit should be raised at this time. Factors include vacations, fiscal year
end reporting requirements, etc.
c) Test. Testing will include interviews with the staff, review of procedures and
manuals, compliance with the organisational policies and governmental laws and
regulations and assessing the adequacy of internal controls.
d) Communicate. Keep the department that is undergoing the audit updated on the
status of the audit on a regular basis, especially if there are any findings. There may
be instances where the findings can be addressed immediately.
e) Draft. The report draft will include the audit Scope and Objectives, Summary and
Opinion, and Findings and Audit Recommendations.
f) Management response. Management will receive the audit draft to confirm the
facts and respond to the Audit Recommendations. Their response should assign the
responsibility and have a specific target date of completion for the corrective
actions. The time window for the Management Response is normally 21 calendar
days.
g) Review. The final version of the audit will be reviewed and all issues resolved by the
Internal Audit and Compliance Team.
h) Distribute. The report is then released to the audited department and the Managing
Director. It is also released to the Audit and Compliance Committee as part of the
agenda at the periodic meetings as requested.
i) Verify. The Internal Audit and Compliance Team will normally conduct a follow-up on
the Management Responses to the audit Findings and Recommendations within a

reasonable timeframe. This subsequent review will be discussed with the involved

Compliance Committee as part of the agenda at the periodic meetings.
Audit procedures
Evidential matter obtained during the course of fieldwork provides the documented basis
for the auditor’s opinions, observations and recommendations as expressed in the audit
report. The Internal Audit and Compliance Team is obligated by professional standards to
act objectively, exercise due professional care and collect sufficient and relevant
information to provide a sound basis for audit observations and recommendations.
Auditors must obtain all evidence necessary for the effective completion of the audit. The
decision on how much evidence is enough and what type of evidence to seek requires the
exercise of the auditor’s judgment based on experience, education and intuition. A thorough
knowledge of the concepts underlying audit evidence will help the auditor to improve the
audit quality and efficiency of the process. Work papers possess certain attributes to provide
a sound basis for audit observations and opinions and to be considered as evidential matter.
These attributes are:
d. Useful information helps the organisation meet its goals. It also provides a
reference for the preparer when called upon to answer questions. If the
evidence supports the basic test of sufficiency, competence and relevance, it
may be used to support the auditor’s findings. The following outlines the
different types of evidence obtained during the course of an audit:
Audit work papers must reflect the details of the evidence upon which the auditor has relied.
The Internal Auditor must maintain adequate documentation of the audit, including the basis
and extent of planning, the work performed and the results and findings of the audit. This will
allow the work papers to serve both as tools to aid the auditor in performing their work and as
written evidence of the work done to support the auditor’s report. Information included in
work papers should be sufficient and relevant to provide a sound basis for audit findings and
recommendations.
In the process of collecting evidential matter, the auditor is required to perform audit testing
to support all observations and opinions. During the performance of such testing, the auditor
is not required to test the population in its entirety. Audit sampling may be employed. Audit
sampling is performing an audit test on less than 100 percent of a population. In ‘sampling’,
the auditor accepts the risk that some or all errors will not be found, and the conclusions
drawn (i.e. all transactions were proper and accurate) may be wrong. The type of sampling
used and the number of items selected should be based on the auditor’s understanding of
the relative risks and exposures of the areas audited.
b) Attribute sampling. Used when the auditor has identified the expected
frequency or occurrence of an event.
c) Variable sampling. Used when the auditor samples for values in a population which vary
from item-to-item.
d) Judgment sampling. Used when it is not essential to have a precise determination of
the probable condition of the universe, or where it is not possible, practical or
necessary to use statistical sampling.
