Meaning and Applicability
Understanding the Scope and Purpose of Operational Audits in Organizations
Operational audit is a systematic review and evaluation of an organization’s operational processes, procedures, and systems to assess their efficiency, effectiveness, and adherence to organizational goals and objectives. Unlike financial audits, which focus primarily on financial reporting accuracy, operational audits examine the entire spectrum of operational activities, including production, procurement, logistics, human resources, and information technology. The primary goal of an operational audit is to identify opportunities for improvement, enhance organizational performance, and mitigate operational risks. Operational audits are applicable to organizations across various sectors and industries, aiming to optimize processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall operational effectiveness.
