In this episode we discuss the use of risk/performance indicators.
These can be used by audit teams, risk teams and integrity agencies.
For audit teams, they are useful throughout the audit lifecycle - planning / risk assessment, fieldwork / conduct and reporting.
We explore why they are useful, what to do and briefly how to get started.
This page (riskinsights.com.au/the-assurance-show-46) contains an example of a dashboard that brings risk indicators together.
