I have recently attended an IIA webinar about Coordinating Risk Management and Assurance. One of the poll questions was as follows:
Soft controls are easier to audit:
– True
– False
– Depends on circumstances
Almost two-thirds of the respondents choose “false” while the other third choose “it depends”.
Soft controls in the above-mentioned webinar were characterized as controls that” Tells you what’s really inside the people”.
Having determined the difficulty of auditing soft controls, my question is as follows: Are internal auditors really trained to audit soft controls? Do we need some basic training in human behavior and psychology?
Please share your thoughts and experience.
