relevant auditable entities within the enterprise and external to the enterprise (e.g., service providers), if applicable.<br />

2. Define the engagement plan and resource requirements.<br />

3. Define practices for gathering and evaluating information from process(es) under review to identify controls to be validated, and current findings<br />

(both positive assurance and any deficiencies) for risk evaluation.<br />

4. Define practices to validate control design and outcomes and determine whether the level of effectiveness supports acceptable risk (required by<br />

organisational or process risk assessment).<br />

5. Where control effectiveness is not acceptable, define practices to identify residual risk (in preparation for reporting).<br />
