3 Definitions of Operations Management The design, execution, and control of operations that convert resources into desired goods and services and implement an organization s strategy source: Operations management is the corporate area in charge of designing, managing and tracking different processes. These processes are made up of interrelated, sequential activities through which the components and actors required (raw materials, labor, capital, information, the client, and such) are transformed into products. source: Miguel Angel Heras, ESADE Business School Operations management is the term used for the activities which produce and deliver products and services. Source: Slack N., Chambers & Johnston, Operations Management, fourth edition Experis December
4 Definition of Operational Auditing Operational Auditing is a systematic process of evaluating an organization s effectiveness, efficiency and economy of operations. It s objectives are to evaluate an organization s performance and to enhance performance by making recommendations for improvement to better attain strategic goals and objectives of the organization. Experis December
5 The Three E s of Operational Auditing Economy Minimizing the cost of resources for an activity (Doing things at a lower price) Efficiency Performing tasks with reasonable effort (Doing things the right way) Effectiveness The extent to which objectives are met (Doing the right things) Experis December

10 What makes a good auditor? What makes a good operations manager? Experis December
11 Attributes of an Ideal Operational Setting Strategic objectives defined for the company Functional area objectives defined and measurable (KPIs) for relevant stakeholders Processes are defined in a level specific manner Proliferation and alignment of personnel toward common known goals Experis December
12 What should IA do in such a setting? Assess whether functional objectives tie to company objectives Assess measurement system(s) risk is it subject to manipulation and/or judgment without appropriate oversight? Determine if policies and procedures are documented and assess their quality (do controls exist?) Assess whether conflicting objectives exist and the extent to which they could impact efficiency and effectiveness (comp programs, internal/external customers, cash flow vs. fulfillment, etc ) Experis December
13 Specific Audit Steps Planning & audit program development Documenting the process & assessing inherent risk Identify controls and develop risk and control matrix Evaluate control design Test control execution Issue discussion and resolution Reporting Follow up Experis December
14 Planning How can I get specific enough with my audit objectives? Know the context Experis December
15 Planning Reduce the context to writing, in a well articulated manner consider disbursements: Disbursements can leave the company in one of five methods outside of payroll. Those methods, their percent of total disbursements, volume, and average disbursement are The most significant risks with disbursements is concentrated in two of these methods as follows The cost of processing method one and five is per payment, the others were not determinable in the planning process of the audit Experis December
16 Planning How do I gain an understanding about the area? Interviews and Discussions Internal Control Questionnaires Background Information Review Review Process Documentation What is missing? Experis December
17 Objectives Tie-ins to strategic objectives Audit Objectives: These must be specific, considering knowledge about the audit target such as: Provide assurance over management controls for authorizing sales commission payments and spot bonus payments for the Southeast sales organization. Provide assurance over the efficient and effective use of resources to procure payment through the XX methods of payment. Provide assurance over warehouse practices to fulfill orders within management s stated service level agreement of 99.5% within 24 hours. Experis December
18 Risk Assessment Of the Audit Target Business Impact Likelihood of Occurrence Risk Velocity Reputational Risk Fraud Risk Management Concern Experis December
19 Temporary Diversion Experis December
20 Audit Program Tips Are planned steps reasonable considering the budget? Do audit steps clearly align with strategic objectives, business objectives and the audit objectives? Do the right controls have an audit program step to evaluate control design and possibly effectiveness? Are planned steps risk appropriate inquiry, observation, inspection, and re-performance? Experis December
21 Audit Program Tips Arrange the audit program steps in a logical, sequential manner and relate them to the specific audit objectives. Clearly state the kind or extent of testing required to achieve the objectives. Where necessary, provide explanations for performing complex audit program steps. Did we follow-through on out-of-scope areas that others may assume are included in the audit? Experis December
22 Risk and Control Matrix Control objective - The high-level actions taken to ensure focus is taken to align with & achieve the entity's objectives. Control activity The actual control activity that ensure we know or understand the extent to which management directives are carried out. This should be obtained in the process documentation phase of information gathering. Control frequency, type (e.g., automated or manual) Evidence of control Tangible document, record, log etc., that can be reviewed/tested to provide evidence that the control is in place. Experis December
23 Evaluate Control Design Do controls expected to be in place appear to provide assurance company & functional objectives are met? Are inherent risks based on the process addressed by controls expected to be operating effectively? Does it appear an economical and efficient use of resources is in place? Considering technology investments? Do we expect evidence of the accomplishment of established objectives and goals for operations to exist? Experis December
