The recent scandals in the world of corporation created a regenerated conscience of the function of audit. An example is the Law of Sarbanes-Oxley of 2002 (SOX), which is an attempt to reinforce the integrity of the financial informations. While some can allege that the act does not disappear rather far, it is a positive and aggressive beginning.
While this reemphasis can be good news for the current and continuous systems, the process to develop a conscience of audit and the need for substantial orders should be established as software is applied. If you are the project manager or the silent partner of project, probably the company 'President of S or CFO, it is in your best interest to create a financially healthy environment at the beginning of the project of execution. The hope is that this good endogamy will continue the software in the production and all its whole life cycle. Considering the wide range of the software of company such as the planning of entrepreneurial resource (ERP), the management of chain of provisioning (SCM), and the management systems of warehouse software (WMS), the need for proportioned and substantial orders is much more obvious.
The current directive for internal orders is the Committee of the organizations of silent partner (COSO) of the National Commission on fraudulent financial informations (Commission of Treadway). COSO provided a standard definition of the internal orders to help of the organizations in objectives of realization financial, operational, and of conformity of SOX. As illustrated by the model below, the framework of COSO can, and would have, being applied to the activities of project. The following sections provide examples in the way in which internal orders and the procedures can be instituted while the project is in hand and being deferred in the production. If all is well, like the project manager and work in.liaison.with the function of audit, can think you of others which can be suitable and profitable with your organization. If it is not enough, perhaps the threat of the SOX and the united penalties can be enough to shake you and your organization in the action.
By applying the software of company, the piloting of this software is one of, if not in the event most critical the life cycle of project 'of S. the pilot of room of piloting or conference (CRP) is the process by which you put the software by his steps in a pseudo arrangement of production to check that it can support the procedures of management and the standard routines of the company. If made well, the pilot will discover exits before they become problems, instill confidence as users which the software is ready for first parts of evening, and will make with with becoming available calm and a cause for the celebration.
Which role the function of audit can it play in this segment of the project? A function traditional and necessary of a listener is the development and the execution of the complete whole of conditions of test and work programs. These conditions are used to examine the software under as close to environment as normal functioning as possible to make sure that the results envisaged are carried out. This function of test inherits the play during two specific processes of piloting: modulate controlling and controlling integrated.
Initially and little time after the software of company is installed, the checking is necessary that the specific modules carry out as envisaged and can satisfy the procedures of management of the company. Can the orders be taken and invoicees correctly? Is the inventory relieved at the suitable points in the process? Are production costs accumulated exactly? The same types of tests must be developed for the other modules of the software of company. The listener the 'participation of S in the development of the conditions of test can make sure that the financial ones and from the operation point of view of the significant aspects of the company are maintained and the software is carried out successfully. While it can be impracticable that the listener develops economic conjunctures for each module, the function of audit should provide total councils as for the current principles of the orders, with a report/ratio of the objectives of auditer by and around the computing systems, and to the participation in an examination of the test results and to the resolution of the exits.
The second phase of the piloting, which occurs close to the end of the execution and after the test of the various modules is achieved, is the checking which the software of company is ready for first parts of evening, treatment of phase of production. In this second phase of piloting, typically aimed like controls it integrated or the conformance testing, the listener can and should play a part much more dominating. Not only can the listeners develop manuscripts of test, the real conductibility of this pilot of acceptance could be placed under their complete control. In this role, the listeners provide independence necessary for this critical event of guarantee of quality, relieving the project manager and the silent partner of this responsibility. An additional benefit of the listener of 'participation of S in this pilot is that the manuscripts of test, inside completely or the partial format, can be employed in the test of audit mid-- and of end of the year according to. The listener the 'knowledge of S of the software of company will continue to pay allowances in many years to come.
