7. About Riskpro India
Riskpro is India‟s first national practice dedicated to risk management services and
training, corporate governance, and global regulatory compliances
Risk can be defined as a prospect of loss or reduced gain that can adversely affect the
achievement of an organisation‟s objectives
When greed overtakes need, it spells trouble. Manifested as „bankruptcy‟ in much of the
developed world and „corruption‟ closer to home, greed has clearly disrupted some major
industrialised economies and enhanced the risks of doing business
In today‟s world, risks are not few. The reason companies so often fail to systematically
manage their key risks is rooted in the way they define the risks they face. Risks are
manageable and the answer to untapped business opportunities that lie dormant waiting
for risk factors to turn favourable
Riskpro was founded in 2009 with offices in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore and it has
already added eight member firms in Ahmedabad, Agra, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad,
Jaipur, Ludhiana, and Pune. All our offices and member firms are well equipped and
staffed with qualified professionals viz. CA, CWA, CS, CPA, CISA, CFA, and MBA
Riskpro‟s founders are qualified risk management specialists with extensive work
experience in Europe and USA in several industries and financial institutions

24. Our audit methodology (cont..)
UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESS
Our top-down risk-based approach ensures that the audit focus is on the issues that
are of greatest importance to you and that we are in the most appropriate position to
respond to them. Our audit starts with a detailed understanding of your industry and
business.
Our approach is based on a top-down examination of the key drivers of your business.
The output is a balanced picture of how the company interacts with customers and
external industry forces. We consider the audit implications of this analysis and use it
to identify significant audit risks.
We use industry specific business models to gain information on:
• industry background including major players, regulatory changes and trends,
• risks and drivers,
• geographic issues,
• descriptions of business processes,
• benchmarks and best practice and
• audit risks. 24
25. Our audit methodology (cont..)
RISK ASSESSMENT
In order to run your business, you develop processes to manage the factors that drive
performance and help control internal and external risks that could prevent you from meeting
your objectives. We focus on those processes where significant risks have been identified and
discuss with management its perception of how these risks are controlled. This phase of our
work enables us to obtain information on the processes supporting the achievement of the
company‟s goals.
AUDIT STRATEGY AND PLANNING
Based on the understanding of business and risk assessment we devise the audit strategy. We
then develop detailed audit programs to test the transactions, processes and balances.
AUDIT FIELD WORK
The audit test work flows from strategic planning and risk assessment. The key element is to
review and test the high level controls embedded in your processes, as significant weaknesses
in your key processes could cost, both in terms of financial impact and reputational damage. We
also carry out necessary substantive audit procedures.
DEALING WITH CRITICAL ISSUES AND REPORTING
We identify and discuss all critical issues with management. We then determine whether the
Company‟s financial statements and related disclosures meet our expectations.
We provide the audit report, management letter and any other deliverables and formally present
these to the Audit Committee / Board.
25
26. Our audit methodology (cont..)
IT AUDIT PROCESSES AND METHODOLOGY
We see IT as an enabler of the operational and financial processes and we
incorporate IT audit professionals into our audit to facilitate the identification and
testing of IT controls.
We use our focused IT audit methodologies and tools as part of our core audit
process to evaluate and test whether the Company‟s information systems are
configured for data integrity, are secure and are effectively managing the business
needs. We work with key business and IT management to identify aspects of IT
that pose the highest risk to the Company. We then conduct a systematic, detailed
review of those areas in which we:
• identify appropriate IT control objectives that map to key business
processes;
• identify relevant IT policies and procedures and/or industry IT standards;
and
• evaluate the design of controls and test whether they are in place and
operating effectively.
26
27. Our audit methodology (cont..)
We use the following types of IT methodologies:
IT AUDIT METHODOLOGIES
Continuity management Process Documentation
System capacity and availability Control Risk Analysis
Back up and recovery Control Design & Implementation
Data storage
Network penetration testing Project risk assessment

Enterprise security architecture and Project management methodology

28. Our audit methodology (cont..)
INTELLIGENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology is only one component of an integrated approach that combines
methodology, knowledge and technology into our tailored service to you.
We deliver our external audit services using a fully automated audit software. This
software is designed specifically to integrate knowledge management into the audit
process. Technology can never be a substitute for face-to-face communications and
we continue to rely on meetings with management to identify, resolve and
communicate issues.
