Why a Business needs Audit Plan?

Audit planning is a complicated business function in which the evaluation of data and documentation about the companies economic and transaction activities are involved.
One cannot go through the same approach of "same as last year" in audit planning because there are many uncertain changes that can take place in a business from the previous year. So it is widely suggested by many Audit professionals not to fall in the "Same as last year approach".

So in this article, I'm here to tell you, why does your business need an audit plan?

The synopsis

Let's take an example to understand why auditing is necessary for any organisation or company. The scenario is for a company which has many branches running successfully across the region without maintaining financial records and some of its clients asked them for current year audit or financial documentation copies and you have provided him previous year records or information, the one hundred percent chances are that the client will file a claim on you.

The dilemma

So how this problem occurs?
As I stated above that many professionals suggest not to use same as last year approach because as you know this is a fast and quick approach but this approach doesn't incorporate new changes or schemes that company has added in the current year and if the client found it suspicious he will surely claim it.

According to experts, there are 3 main components for planning a successful Audit i.e.Risk assessmentteam compositionand timing

Risk assessment

As per the expert's view, Risk assessment helps in creating a complete view of the internal factors, external factors and regulation of the business by considering the clients and circumstances.
By risk assessment, one can easily find the errors and the area of greater risk that can lead any business to professional liability claims.

Teamwork

For gaining maximum success in Audit it is important to ensure that the auditing is done by experts and the work is properly categorized. Thus how a good team composition will lead you to the right path.

Timing

Audit of a company can't be done in a day or months, it is a continuous process which starts from one financial year to next and thereon.
So, Timing is about more than when the audit will take place.


So these three components are the basics of auditing including time which is the crucial part of an audit to ensure that business or company doesn't fall.
