Purpose
Use this report to present an objective assessment of programme performance against the criteria and scope agreed for a specific audit. Its findings and recommendations should help the programme improve effectiveness, deliver benefits in line with the benefits-realisation plan and execute consistently with the programme management plan.
Application
The Audit Plan defines the programme-wide approach to assurance; this report records one audit engagement. It provides evidence and an independent or appropriately objective perspective for governance decisions. It should identify control or performance problems constructively and avoid assigning personal blame where the evidence supports a system, process or governance cause.
Completion discipline
State the reporting or review period, scope, evidence sources and preparer. Separate observed facts from analysis, assign owners and dates to follow-up actions, obtain the required approval, and retain the report with its supporting records.
