Best-in-Class Peer Review – PERIAS

– typology-based benchmarking analysis for internal audits –

Objective:

“Peer Review Internal Audit Strategy” (PERIAS) is based on results from various benchmarking studies conducted mainly in the three German-speaking “DACH” countries – Austria, Germany and Switzerland. On request, additional benchmarking data can be incorporated from the annual “Global Audit Information Network” (GAIN) study conducted by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
Besides a general benchmarking analysis, ARC employs a typology-based cluster algorithm to achieve a strategic localization of the respective audit. This approach provides an opportunity to illustrate various strategic paths of development. These are organized in the form of scenarios according to 10 different structural perspectives.

Among other things, within the framework of a typical analysis of strengths and weaknesses, the strategic references and results also are arranged in a structured manner within the following areas:

1) Functional orientation of the audit
2) Independence
3) Audit-services portfolio
4) Audit techniques
5) Communications
6) Cooperation with other parties
7) Quality management
8) IT equipment
9) Staff development
10) Organizational structure
