New Audit Plan

The first step in preparing the annual Audit Plan in AuditAlert is to click on the Audit Plan button in the Main Menu. When selected, the Audit Plan Search screen will be displayed, which lists all audit plans created to-date:

Selecting the New Audit Plan button from the Audit Plan Search screen (above) will display the Audit Plan Entry Screen that requires the audit administrator to indicate the plan start and end dates. AuditAlert can accommodate a one-year plan and plans that span up to three years.  In order to see the audit plan listed in the grid, click on the row.

Clicking on an existing audit plan provides the audit administrator with a quick overview of the examinations that comprise the audit plan.

 

. Displays the Plan Start Date and Plan End Date.
. Displays the Plan Title description of the annual audit plan.
. Date and time stamp when and who created the audit plan and when and who last updated the plan.
. Different filters to view the examinations linked or not linked to the plan.
. Examination ID assigned by AuditAlert.
. This column indicates that the examination has been linked to the audit plan.
* This column indicates the frequency of the audit based on the risk assessment scorecard results.
. Indicates the examination that was used to create the selected examination, if the “copy audit plan” (see below)  function was utilized. This is the initial examination regarding the Bank Secrecy Act, #207.
. If the audit administrator decides to use the prior audit plan as the starting point to create the new plan, he / she would select the Copy Plan button. The Copy Plan function allows the audit administrator to effortlessly bring forward a copy of all examinations from the prior audit plan including assigned staff, budgeted hours, risk assessment scorecard, etc.

Any new audit entities should be created at this point in order that they may be picked up in the new audit plan. The result would be the organization’s updated “audit universe.” A new audit entity can be added to the current audit plan at any point in time during the plan year(s).

. Selecting “View Plan Exam Summary” displays the applicable screen in section Summary Information Displays.
. Selecting “View Plan Staff Summary” displays the applicable screen in section Summary Information Displays.
