IIA Standard 2010: Planning requires that the CAE “establish a risk-based plan to determine the priorities of the internal audit activity, consistent with the organization’s goals.” A risk-based audit plan ensures that the internal audit activity is focused on the organization’s top risks.
Development of a risk-based audit plan requires expertise in risk assessment, risk management, governance, and control processes, as well as skills in applying that expertise.
