Audit testing phase

What to expect during the testing phase of an internal audit.

Audit testing (sometimes called 'fieldwork') may include:

  • interviews
  • walkthroughs of key processes and controls
  • sample or full population testing
  • information requests
  • data and analytics

The Internal Audit team will also review documentation and request access to files and reports.

The testing will help us to decide whether or not the controls you have in place are operating effectively, and to establish if any controls are missing.

We'll need you to be engaged with the process, and to offer us your time and assistance.
