Implementation Issues for Compliance Audit arising from the 3i Programme
Difficulties in determining requirements for an compliance audit practice at level 4. • Issue of combined financial and compliance audits – need for detailed requirements from such combined audits at level 4. • Need for cooperation between FAS and CAS to determine the audit practice to be followed for such combined audits e.g audit of budget execution. • Need to explain compliance frameworks while conducting such audits.
Nature of assurance in compliance audit. • What does a professionally qualified compliance auditor look like? • What kind of knowledge and skills should the auditor possess?
Role of CA Expert • Who can explain compliance audit as a profession at all three levels: • Institutional level – what kind of a mandate and legal framework is needed for compliance audit practice, • Organisational level – what kind of quality control mechanisms does the SAI need to have in place for a sustained compliance audit practice, • Professional level – what does a sustained compliance audit practice look like? Expert can explain the interrelationship between compliance audit, financial audit and performance audit.
