Audit Value Quiz

Welcome to The OSTERIO Group web site. Now that you are here, take this FREE audit value quiz to see how much value you are creating in your company:

Rate each question using the scale below

1 = Not at all
2 = A little bit
3 = Somewhat and sometimes
4 = We’re getting better
5 = We’re very good at this

  • All our audit reports include the dollar cost to complete the audit.
  • We commit to a specific date to deliver our audit report or presentation.
  • We commit to a specific cost for which we will complete our audit work.
  • We assess the contents of every audit report/presentation against the dollar cost to complete the work.
  • Our work is focused on the risks that threaten a Vice President’s ability to be successful in accomplishing their business objectives. We do not let middle managers steer the audit.
  • Our audit managers spend a lot of their time discussing risk and control issues with the Vice Presidents of the company.
  • We spend most of our time addressing Accomplish Objectives and Economy and Efficient Scope of Work risks.
  • Several auditors have been promoted out of the audit department in the past year.
  • There are more people in the company wanting to transition into internal audit than there are positions available.
  • We spend a lot of our time on control consulting work helping various groups in the company improve their internal controls.

If you scored:

Above 35 - you are in great shape from a value perspective - congratulations! Keep up the good work.

20 - 35 - You are moving down the right path but have a lot of room for improvement.

Below 20 - The future of your audit department is at risk. As an overhead cost function you are probably not demonstrating value greater than the cost of operating the audit department
If your score is below 35, please jump to the RBIA page for more information on how the next Risk Based Integrated Auditing™ seminar can provide you with some ideas to help you to significantly improve your productivity and dramatically improve your value to your company.
