COBIT 2019 MEA04.08: MEA04.08 Report and follow up on the assurance initiative

Where appropriate, a positive assurance opinion is given, together with improvement recommendations on the weaknesses found in operational performance, in external compliance and in internal control: the effect of each control weakness is recorded; management is kept up to date while the work is under way so it understands what is being done and preliminary findings and recommendations are agreed and accepted; the report follows the terms of reference, the scope and the reporting standards agreed, backs up the results and concentrates on the main issues and the actions that matter most; and the assurance work is supervised so that it is finished, achieves its objectives and reaches an acceptable standard, with the approach changed if the quality falls short.

  • 9.2 Internal audit

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
