Better Auditing Practices for a Successful Enterprise

Auditing the accounts of an institution is like given a medical examination to an individual. It is the process by which the accounts of a company or institution are made spotless and a robust system of transactions is created. It is also a reality check for any institution. If an auditor takes his/her job seriously then the institution has an opportunity to revise its methods and improve in all areas of shortcomings.

It is necessary that every enterprise organise a self-audit both as a reality check and for neutral subjective analysis of its performance. Audits can be transaction audits or performance audits. The names are completely suggestive of their nature and both have immense importance. As an auditor I know how important both kinds of audits are for any institution.

Internal Audit Process | Image Resource : calregsolutions.com

I have great audit team and it is the reason behind my success. Any enterprise needs to identify a team of auditors with relevant and satisfactory credentials for conducting a successful audit. Internal audits must also be extremely neutral and non-partisan. For this the managers need to choose people with a long history of credibility. The next step is to design the audit process and test alternatives in small departments of an institution. Sometimes different audit techniques have to be used in different departments. A proper reading of the company regulations and federal and provincial guidelines on audits is also extremely necessary. Sound legal advice might be needed at every step of the audit process so that no rules are violated. There are certain sections of an enterprise which require confidential and sensitive auditing and care in this regard must be takes.

Any changes in company rules and policies must be reflected in audits. Especially performance audits must carefully scrutinize the performance of various policies of any enterprise. The linking of account records is generally done before an audit so that a proper exchange of information can take place. It is necessary to properly channelize this information to ensure smooth and unbiased auditing. The final audit reports have to be made public. Preparation of a detailed report is essential else the audit becomes useless. Audit results must be shared equally with all stakeholders irrespective of their position in the firm to maintain transparency and accountability which is the ultimate aim of any Audit.

This beach stretches for about ten kilometres in north goa and is indeed extremely beautiful. The beach that is laid out in front of us seemed to go till the horizon. There weren’t many people here and thus gave us a lot of time to ourselves.

There are many cheap travel lodges and hotels near this beach but it wasn’t occupied when we were there. It was getting real hot and so we decided to try out the famous Ganesh Juice Shop that was just a short walk. This place is extremely clean and the juices here are to die for! As I write this blog post, my mouth is water and I could use a fresh watermelon squeeze from that small but amazing juice shop!

I soon realized that there were a lot of business lodgers because of the lavish business centre and conference hall that the hotel provides.

The gorgeous swimming pool, proper strategic location to all the tourist spots and contemporary style interiors were what grabbed my attention in the first place. We booked a standard deluxe room and were thoroughly impressed by it. The room came with attached bathroom, safe facilities, iron, hair dryer and minibar. The room had wonderful wooden floorings that kept the room cold and cosy at all times.

The place is administered and controlled by the State Forest Department and the many forest rangers work really hard to protect and conserve what they have.

The eleven forest guards and they do a wonderful job at taking care of the sanctuary. The whole area has excellent flora and fauna. The drive to this location was brilliant and the roads were very well maintained. I suggest you carry a water bottle and walking shoes because it is a huge area to cover.

We saw a black panther, sloths, bears lions and even Bengal tigers. The tigers were the best and most majestic creatures that I laid my eyes on. There is a wonderful protection program that has been launched by this biodiversity hotspot to help save the lives of these very rapidly decreasing species. There were many species of snakes that were around as well so it was our duty to be careful through the woods. I would’ve felt more comfortable if there were more guards and guides around to help us out with which path to take. It is advisable to go during the day and come back before the sun sets as it may get a little creepy.

Like all other places in Goa, this one too had a history to go with it. Our driver was nice enough to explain the story in full enthusiasm. Legend has it that the mountains are a virtue of modesty displayed by the Princess of the Western Ghats. After we got there, we realized that a train journey would have been much more inexpensive, I suggest people look into using the Indian railway instead of hiring a car if you are looking for a budgeted trip.

The Breath Taking Sight Will Be Embedded In Your Memory For A Lifetime!

We came prepared to jump into the waters and I suggest everyone else to do the same because the water is extremely cold once you get out of it. If you are looking for an entire day of fun and frolic with your loved ones, this location will be perfect for you. The best time to go is between January and May because the water isn’t too deep and dangerous.
