COBIT 2019 MEA04.06: MEA04.06 Execute the assurance initiative, focusing on design effectiveness

The planned assurance initiative is carried out to validate and confirm how the operating internal controls are designed and, in internal audit assignments in particular, to weigh their cost-effectiveness: the understanding and scope of what is being assured are refined; the way management controls the area is observed, inspected and reviewed, and its design is validated with the control owner as complete, relevant, timely and measurable; the initiative confirms with the owner, and tests, that someone is answerable overall and that responsibility for the governance component has been allocated; the mix of preventive controls against detective and corrective ones is reconsidered; and the effort needed to keep the controls running is weighed along with their cost-effectiveness.
