Operational Audit

An Operational Audit is a systematic and objective assessment of an organization's business functions, processes, and controls. It is a comprehensive review of how well an organization is functioning and how well it is meeting its goals and objectives. An Auditor identifies points of non-conformity and provides actionable recommendations to management to enhance performance and mitigate risks.

Objectives of an Operational Audit

An operational audit is a detailed review of an organisation's operational systems, processes, and controls, aimed at evaluating their efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance. An Operational audit typically aims to achieve the following objectives:

• Assessing efficiency: Analysing the utilization of resources, the management of time, and the control of costs within a variety of operational processes and activities. Thus, waste can be reduced and resources can be optimized by identifying areas for improvement.
• Effectiveness Assessment: Assessment of an organization's operational efficiency and effectiveness in relation to its goals. Consequently, it is necessary to determine whether the organization's operational processes are aligned with its key strategic objectives.
• Evaluation of Risk: Identify and assess risks by conducting a thorough review of internal controls and risk management procedures to mitigate potential operational disruptions, fraud, or compliance issues.
• Legal Compliance: Achieving compliance with laws, regulations, industry standards, and internal policies that govern the organization's operations. An important aspect of compliance is to verify compliance, since non-compliance may have legal and reputational ramifications.
• Expense Analysis: The evaluation and control of operating costs, which includes both direct and indirect costs. An operational audit may identify opportunities for cost savings or determine whether a particular operation is cost-effective.
• Streamlining Workflows: Streamline workflows, optimize resource allocation, and organize procedures to increase productivity.
• Utilisation of Resources: Evaluation of the efficiency of an organization's utilization of resources, including assets, technology, and human resources.
• Evaluation of Performance: Measurement, tracking, and improvement of operational processes using metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Quality Assurance: Assuring high-quality standards are maintained by operational activities, as well as delivering high-quality products and services to customers.
• Analysing Benchmarks: Assessing the organization's performance in relation to industry benchmarks or best practices in order to identify areas where the organization may be lacking or excelling.
• Roles and Responsibilities: Establishing clear roles and responsibilities within operational processes, as well as ensuring accountability for team members and individuals.
• Documentation: Providing management and stakeholders with a comprehensive audit report that can serve as a basis for action planning and to communicate findings and recommendations.
