Correct Answer

A. I, II and III

Explanation

The Global Internal Audit (GIA) decided to implement the new risk-based audit approach for three main reasons. Firstly, it was to be in line with the Institute of Internal Audit standards, which are recognized best practices in the field. Secondly, it was to be aligned with World Vision's strategic mandate and goals, ensuring that the audit approach supports the organization's overall objectives. Lastly, the new approach aimed to allocate the limited resources of the audit department to the areas of highest risk, ensuring that audits are focused on the most critical areas.

In World Vision Lanka’s presentation, what is the risk factor with the highest weighting?

Complexity of the program
Donor interest and expectation
Project internal controls
Results of prior audit results

Correct Answer

A. Donor interest and expectation

Explanation

The risk factor with the highest weighting in World Vision Lanka's presentation is donor interest and expectation. This means that the organization considers the expectations and interests of donors as the most significant risk factor in their program. They recognize that meeting the expectations of donors is crucial for the success of their projects.

Based on the new risk based audit approach, the audit plan is now determined by:

The WVI FFM Internal audit frequency policy
Prioritized areas based on the most critical risk
Prior audit findings
Management

Correct Answer

A. Prioritized areas based on the most critical risk

Explanation

The new risk based audit approach determines the audit plan by prioritizing areas based on the most critical risk. This means that the areas that pose the highest risk to the organization will be given priority in the audit plan. This approach ensures that resources are allocated to areas that are most in need of attention and helps to mitigate potential risks. By focusing on the most critical risk areas, the audit plan can effectively address and mitigate any potential issues that may arise.

What is the definition of risk? I) chance of something that will have an impact on objectives II) effect of uncertainty on objectives III) combination of the probability of an event and its consequences IV) probability that an event will occur and adversely affect the achievement of objectives

I, II, III and IV
I and IV only
II only
I, II and III

Correct Answer

A. I, II, III and IV

Explanation

The definition of risk encompasses all four statements. Risk is the chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives. It is also the effect of uncertainty on objectives, as uncertainty creates the potential for risk. Risk is a combination of the probability of an event occurring and the consequences it may have. Finally, risk is also the probability that an event will occur and negatively affect the achievement of objectives. Therefore, all four statements accurately describe the definition of risk.

Compared with WV India and Sri Lanka’s presentations, the Philippines audit department determined their audit universe by looking at:

Local office ministry strategy
PBAS
Different sectors’ risk
Last year’s audit plan

This means that they considered the strategic goals and objectives of the local office ministry in order to identify the areas that needed to be audited. By aligning the audit universe with the local office ministry strategy, the audit department can ensure that their audits are focused on the areas that are most important for achieving the ministry's goals.

In terms of risk, what are the projects that have the highest risk, resulting in being audited every year?

National office
Cost allocation method (CAM)
Sponsorship projects (ADPs)
Government grants

Correct Answer

A. Government grants

Explanation

Government grants are considered to have the highest risk in terms of being audited every year. This is because government grants involve the allocation of public funds and are subject to strict regulations and accountability. The use of government grants must be carefully monitored to ensure that the funds are being used for their intended purpose and in compliance with the specified guidelines. As a result, organizations receiving government grants are often audited annually to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of these funds.
