Guidance Notes
i.
The Executive Summary should be restricted to a few (2-3) pages. Considering that
brevity in presentation is desirable, the entire Internal Audit Report should ideally
not be more than 10 pages. However, there may be cases which may necessitate a
longer report for some audit engagements. Final decision in this regard may be
taken by the Head of the Internal Audit Wing in each Ministry.
ii.
The detailed Audit evidence (all data / information / documents in support of Audit
observations) form part of the working papers for each audit engagement and
should not be annexed to the Internal Audit Report. These however, should be
linked / indexed properly and kept in safe custody for any future reference and
examination.
iii.
Each Internal Audit report should follow the numbering format indicated on the
cover page of the draft report template. Audit observations should be so numbered
as to facilitate simple referencing subsequently.
