A key aspect of our re engineered process is that we focus each audit on a single COSO objective, rather than on many audit objectives. Each auditor, in conjunction with management, determines the appropriate COSO objective—operations, financial reporting, or compliance. This determination is made during audit planning and formally documented in the working papers. Concentrating on one audit objective allows us to improve audit focus and efficiency. If another objective needs to be addressed, a separate audit can be initiated.
