合规性

Compliance is most associated with a “measure of how well we are meeting obligations.” Compliance involves adhering to laws, regulations, policies, and standards that apply to an organization. It ensures that the organization is fulfilling its legal, regulatory, and ethical obligations, thereby avoiding penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage. Compliance programs include policies, procedures, training, monitoring, and audits to ensure that all obligations are consistently met.References:

NO.33 Follow up should be restricted to the recommendations and action plan

True. Only follow-up on planned actions and controls.

False. Follow-Up should target the underlying risk. If the planned actions and controls are working, then the follow-up should identify and recommend changes.

Follow-up should not be restricted to the recommendations and action plan alone. It should also target the underlying risk to ensure that the actions and controls implemented are effectively mitigating the identified risks. If the follow-up reveals that the planned actions and controls are not working as intended, it is essential to identify and recommend necessary changes to address the underlying risk adequately. This approach ensures that the root causes of issues are addressed and that the organization is protected against potential risks.References:
* ISO 31000:2018 – Risk management – Guidelines
* COSO Enterprise Risk Management – Integrating with Strategy and Performance

NO.34 During Assessment Planning, it is important to conduct a complete risk assessment and conduct detailed testing to understand inherent risks and control risk.

True. Everything needs to be fully understood before a plan can be finalized.

False. Limited information gathering and procedures should be conducted to get an initial estimate of inherent risk and control risk so that planning can proceed.

During the planning phase of an assessment, it is not necessary to conduct a complete risk assessment and detailed testing. Instead, limited information gathering and initial procedures are sufficient to estimate inherent risk and control risk, allowing planning to proceed. This initial estimate helps to set the scope and focus of the assessment. Detailed testing and a comprehensive risk assessment can be conducted during the actual assessment phase. This approach allows for a more efficient and flexible planning process.References:
* ISO 19011:2018 – Guidelines for auditing management systems
* NIST SP 800-30 Rev. 1 – Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments

第 35 号 If follow-up discovers that actions and controls haven’t been implemented, immediately escalate to the board

True. Plans must be followed!

False. Use professional judgement and work with the action owner to understand why plans have not been implemented.

If follow-up discovers that actions and controls haven’t been implemented, it is important to use professional judgment and work with the action owner to understand why the plans have not been implemented. Immediate escalation to the board without understanding the context may not be the most effective approach. Engaging with the action owner can help identify obstacles and facilitate a constructive resolution. Escalation should be considered if there is a significant risk or if there is consistent non-compliance despite reasonable efforts to address the issue.References:
* ISO 19011:2018 – Guidelines for auditing management systems
* IIA Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing

第 36 号 What are the dimensions of TOTAL Performance?

NO.37 Producing Value and Protecting Value are trade-offs. You CANNOT do both at the same time. *

正确

假的

The statement that producing value and protecting value are trade-offs and cannot be done at the same time is false. In fact, both can and should be pursued concurrently. Effective governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) strategies integrate the production of value (achieving business objectives and growth) with the protection of value (safeguarding assets, ensuring compliance, and managing risks). This integrated approach ensures sustainable performance and long-term success. Organizations that balance both aspects can achieve principled performance by reliably achieving objectives, addressing uncertainty, and acting with integrity.References:

* COSO Enterprise Risk Management – Integrating with Strategy and Performance

第 38 号 How would the following test be classified?
The Assurance Provider inspects the use of a RACI template in the field to see how it is being used.

Control test

Substantive test

Inspecting the use of a RACI template in the field to see how it is being used is classified as a substantive test.
This test involves examining actual instances of the RACI template’s application to verify its proper use in practice. It goes beyond evaluating the design of the control (the template itself) and looks at the real-world implementation and effectiveness, providing evidence on how the control operates in practice.
