Webinar A multipurpose Audit Universe: The pros, cons, and necessities

An Audit Universe is likely used for risk assessing and planning purposes, defining, and prioritizing audit work for the audit year plan. The structure of the universe can be defined, for example, via auditable entities, value-chains, and themes.
Do we evaluate ex-ante and ex-post coverage of the year plan sustaining the audit messages we provide to management? What is the best approach and what do we need to consider and take into account?

Learning objectives:

• Learn how to create stability in the audit universe
• Understand how to align the audit universe, evidencing the minimal needed coverage
• Identify how to create an audit universe with different views (input/output)
• Gain an understanding of the pros and cons of dynamic planning activities
• Understand how to deal with regulatory requests

The webinar is presented by Norbert Kouwenberg, Audit Director - Risk Management at ABN AMRO  and chair of the Professional Practices Committee of IIA Netherlands, facilitated by Wolters Kluwer.
