This study aims to disclose not only the APIP's internal audit planning strategy in accordance with the mandate of the SAAIPI 2014, Law 30/2014, Law 23/2014, Government Regulation 60/2008, Presidential Regulation 16/2018, Presidential Regulation 54/2018, but also the synergy strategy among APIP, LKPP and APH in preventing corruption in the procurement sector. The research method used is a qualitative method with the literature studies, surveys, and retrospective studies. The results show that the mandate of internal supervision can be identified through the relationship matrix between SAAIPI 2014 and several regulations. The strategy in the synergy of supervision planning conducted by APIP, LKPP and APH can be determined through a SWOT analysis of the role of APIP. There are 4 choices of strategies for optimizing the role of APIP. APIP that has a capability score of 3 can use the SO and ST strategies. Whereas APIP that has capability scores of 1 and 2 can use the WO and WT strategies. Whole of Government can be built by APIP, APH and LKPP, either in the form of coordination between institutions, the formation of task forces, or social coalitions.

The dynamic changes in the market conditions are increasingly moving away from the reactive audit planning. The increasingly prevalent approach implies agility, i.e. faster adjustment to the external and internal environment, whose result includes the improved operational performance, quality and satisfaction of audit clients. One way to introduce agility in internal audit is to adopt the methodology Scrum, a management approach applied in several project organizations in various industries. By implementing the best experiences of Scrum, a better overview, thinking, learning and adjustment would be achieved. The principles of having to check and adjust, which are inherent in Scrum, enable the teams to work efficiently in the ever-changing conditions, resulting in a high level of sustainable productivity. The paper provides an overview of the agile organizations, specific planning, Scrum principles and concepts for application in audit teams.

ABSTRACT Due to rapidly changing risks in companies, a continuous alignment of internal audit activities with the relevant risks is required. Continuous auditing (CA) is one possible way to meet these requirements. Specifically, the internal audit function (IAF) could use CA as a methodology in order to add a continuous perspective to their risk assessment. This study examines factors associated with the use of CA information in the IAF's risk-based audit planning (RBAP). We use survey data from 264 chief audit executives to address our research question. We find several factors having a positive influence on the use of information from CA in RBAP. These factors include the importance of data analytics, the collaboration with the audit committee and external auditor, as well as the use of IAF's results for fraud prevention. Furthermore, our additional analysis presents various positive effects of CA on potential output measures of internal auditing. JEL Classifications: G30; G32; G34; M42.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how the internal audit function (IAF) modifies its activities and practices in relation to the digitalisation the organisation. This paper specifically examines the use of data analytics and the performance of consulting activities by internal auditors. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a survey conducted with 82 chief audit executives based in the USA and members of the institute of internal auditors. Findings Results indicate a positive relation between the organisation’s level of digitalisation and the use of data analytics by internal auditors during their missions. Results also indicate that the organisation’s level of digitalisation has an indirect effect on the proportion of the internal audit planning dedicated to consulting activities. Specifically, the use of data analytics mediates the relationship between the organisation’s level of digitalisation and the proportion of the internal audit planning dedicated to consulting activities. Research limitations/implications This research was conducted amongst internal auditors based in the US Future research could investigate the insights of other internal audit stakeholders and investigate different legal contexts. Practical implications Results show that digitalisation increases the use of data analytics by internal auditors and the performance of consulting activities. The results, therefore, highlight the importance of these two aspects for the IAF to continue to bring value to organisations. Originality/value This research provides more insights on internal audit working practices. The digitalisation of the organisation leads the IAF to use more data analytics and perform more consulting activities.

Auditoria é um processo sistemático, que permite, através da coleta de evidências, determinar a confiabilidade e a qualidade da execução das atividades realizadas, de acordo com os critérios de auditoria, requisitos, políticas e procedimentos estabelecidos na organização, para tomada de decisão. É desenvolvida por profissionais que cumprem algumas competências e qualidades, que realizam seu trabalho em total conformidade proporcionando, assim qualidade e confiabilidade de seu trabalho. A necessidade de auditoria interna é manifestada em uma empresa à medida que aumenta seu volume de operações, sua extensão geográfica ou sua complexidade e impossibilita o controle direto das operações pela administração. Então, a auditoria interna é uma ajuda indispensável para a gerência no cumprimento de suas funções e responsabilidades, fornecendo análises objetivas, avaliações, recomendações e todos os tipos de comentários pertinentes sobre as operações examinadas. Por fim, é apresentado ao longo do trabalho diversos autores com suas teorias em torno do tema e suas contribuições significativas na revisão literária.
