QP's Involvement in Auditing

• Most authorities recommend that the QP (Qualified Person) should not be involved in auditing, as it may lead to a conflict of interest.

Ideal Auditor

Auditor's Task

  • Verifying that the necessary procedures and instructions are in place and being followed.
  • Verifying that the necessary records are maintained.
  • Verifying that the procedures are effective in practice.

QP's Role

• If the QP is not completing the audit, their role is to ensure that the audit is performed, and the results are reported to the management.

Internal Audit Programme Management

• The overall management of the internal audit programme is considered an important role, as it ensures that the audits are properly planned, performed, and reported, and that necessary actions are taken to correct any deficiencies.
