AuditOne Methodology
a

AuditOne’s risk-based approach recommends starting with a comprehensive Enterprise-wide Risk Assessment that sets the strategic priorities and calendar of a cost-effective internal audit program. Our individual audit workprograms are constantly retooled and updated to meet regulatory changes and focus, and we follow all regulatory examination testing and controls guidelines including those of FFIEC, GLBA, COSO, CoBit, FDIC, DFI, and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Our management and senior staff have worked in the financial institution internal audit industry for decades, formulating and implementing methodologies proven sound and successful by repeated industry practice and regulatory approval.
