3.
4.
5.
Who does Internal Audit report to (functionally and administratively)? Who does Risk
Management report to? How often does each interact with the Board or a Board
committee?
How does the risk assessment process work between and among Internal Audit and Risk
Management? And how are the results of these risk assessment processes shared with
management and/or the Board? What information does each of the functions provide to
the other, and how is that information used?
Are you satisfied with the level of collaboration? If so, what do you attribute this success
to? If not, what is the biggest impediment?
How do Internal Audit and Risk Management collaborate in your organization? What are the
areas of collaboration? What is working well? What are you working on to improve the
relationship? Also, what formal or informal procedures are in place to minimize duplication
and overlap with other risk-related functions such as legal, health and safety, and regulatory
and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance?
What advice do you have for Chief Audit Executives and/or Chief Risk Officers as they seek to
achieve greater levels of collaboration between Internal Audit and Risk Management?

Collaborative Practices & Value Realized
• Link the audit plan and the enterprise risk assessment, and
share other work products. Provides assurance that critical risks are being
identified effectively.
• Share available resources wherever and whenever possible.
Allows for efficient use of scarce resources (such as financial, staff, time).
• Cross-leverage each function’s respective competencies, roles
and responsibilities. Provides communication depth and consistency,
especially at the board and management levels.
• Assess and monitor strategic risks. Allows for deeper understanding and
focused action on the most significant risks.
