Audit planning
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying, by a computer system, one or more audit units of an enterprise, the one or more audit units including a visual indicator of a risk value and an impact value for each audit unit, the risk value representing a likelihood of one or more risk controls for the audit unit failing, the impact value representing an estimate of the consequences of the one or more risk controls failing;
receiving, by the computer system, a selection of an audit unit in the one or more audit units from a user;
adding, by the computer system, one or more risk controls for the selected audit unit to an audit project;
executing, by the computer system, the audit project based at least in part on calculating an exposure associated with each audit unit, the exposure calculated as a product of the impact value and the risk value for each audit unit, using functions of a workflow-enabled project management application to facilitate auditing of the one or more risk controls for the selected audit unit;
wherein displaying the one or more audit units includes;
sorting the one or more audit units according to their associated exposures; and
displaying the one or more audit units in sorted order.

Abstract
An audit planning system enables users to plan effective audits by identifying audit units having potentially large impacts and risks on an enterprise and enabling users to select audit units to include in audits based on a variety of different criteria. The audit planning system displays the audit units of the enterprise and a visual indicator of the impact and risk associated with each audit unit. The audit planning system enables users to select the displayed audit units to plan an audit. The audit planning system may display audit units in an impacted financial statement, a tree map, a graph, and/or a table. The audit planning system may sort and/or display audit units with visual indicators specifying associated risks, impacts, materiality values, exposures, coverages, and/or audit costs. The audit planning system can further display visual indications of the changes in audit units'"'"' associated attributes over time.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program code executable by a computer system, the program code comprising:
-
code that causes the computer system to display one or more audit units of an enterprise, the one or more audit units including a visual indicator of a risk value and an impact value for each audit unit, the risk value representing a likelihood of one or more risk controls for the audit unit failing, the impact value representing an estimate of the consequences of the one or more risk controls failing; code that causes the computer system to receive a selection of an audit unit in the one or more audit units from a user; code that causes the computer system to add one or more risk controls for the selected audit unit to an audit project; code that causes the computer system to execute the audit project based at least in part on calculating an exposure associated with each audit unit, the exposure calculated as a product of the impact value and the risk value for each audit unit, using functions of a workflow-enabled project management application to facilitate auditing of the one or more risk controls for the selected audit unit; wherein displaying the one or more audit units includes;
