10. Explain the purpose of the Global Organizational Hierarchy and its relationship with the COSO ERM framework.
Critical ThinkingTask
1. Create a Global Organizational Hierarchy for Champion Pharmaceutical, Inc. (CPI) using the information about the company provided in the Introduction to the TeamMate Practice Case. Then choose one entity, define two objectives for that entity, and describe two risks that threaten the achievement of each objective.
2. Using the Heat Map reports in Appendix A and Appendix B, identify the three highest priority internal audit engagements. Justify your reasoning for each engagement identified.
TeamMate Practice Case Exercise 1: TeamRisk
CPI’s internal audit function uses TeamRisk to develop its annual risk-based internal audit plan. The planning process begins with the internal audit func-tion’s understanding of the organization, which is documented in TeamRisk using the Global Organizational Hierarchy (GOH) feature. The GOH is a rep¬resentation of the audit universe, that is, all the organizational units (entities) the internal audit function can audit.
The internal audit function then uses TeamRisk to complete and document the following tasks:
• Identify CPI’s entity objectives and the risks that threaten the achievement of those objectives.
• Link the identified objectives and risks, as well as controls designed to mitigate the risks, with the identified entities included in the GOH.
• Assess the inherent and/or residual risks for each entity and determine a total risk score.
• Develop an internal audit plan that includes those entities that pose the highest risks to CPI.
