Introduction
Fisher & Paykel’s Internal Audit plan for 2016 approved by the Audit and Risk Management Committee includes a Data Analysis review. This review builds on the previous year analysis (Rating: Good) undertaken on vendor Masterfile and NZ credit cards.
We have decided to perform our review on manual stock adjustments and manual journal entries posted. The risk of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, is inherent within manual inputs and processes thus motivating a review of such transactions.
This Terms of Reference outlines the scope, approach, review sponsor, review team and timing of this review.
Scope and objective
The scope of this review is limited to the New Zealand, Australia and Thailand business units. Review transactions coverage is 12 months ended 31 December 2015.
