Senior management is eager to assess the organization's risks with regard to electricity sales processes, but the senior management team does not know where to start. How can the internal audit activity assist?
A.
Outsource the identification of best practices for risk management to an external third party.
B.
Perform an audit engagement to identify risk management practices deployed in electricity sales processes.
C.
Recommend reporting the lack of risk management to government authorities and request guidance.
D.
Facilitate a self-assessment workshop with the employees responsible for process execution.
By performing an audit engagement, the internal audit activity can systematically review and assess the current risk management practices in the electricity sales processes. This will provide senior management with a detailed understanding of the existing controls, processes, and any gaps or areas for improvement. An audit engagement offers a structured approach to identifying and evaluating risks and controls, which is essential for developing effective risk management strategies.
