Take the form of two-way reports, that is, functional audit reports to the Audit Committee report, administrative audit reports to management reports, is at present an ideal model. Meanwhile, Chairman and General Manager of two hats separated as much as possible to prevent the "inside control" phenomenon.
Using advanced auditing methods
Internal audits audit of personnel skilled in traditional skills at the same time, should also have some computer skills and modern technology of information system management, and evaluation. With the establishment of enterprise's internal control system, and external restriction mechanism strengthened internal management was gradually improving, within the company to establish a perfect and efficient auditing information systems and auditing platform, more quickly and more effectively review, collation, analysis, comparison, reviews, and internal audits for the company from the traditional financial audit to identify, the risk prevention services. Audit audit in advance, rather than ex-post audits prior to audit the legality and feasibility of the project, such as preliminary examination of proposed audit opinion; in the main control point for the audit project compliance testing, monitoring role; ex-post evaluation on audit matters. Shift from preventing misuse of error correction to the management service. Content should investigate and deal with violations of discipline towards internal control system audits and performance audits.

Audit independence. Chief Auditor was received from General Manager Department head, but he was nominated by the parties to the joint venture, approved by the Board of directors appointed (Board of Directors is the company's highest authority). Requested the General Auditor on the Board every six months for an independent report of audit activities and discoveries, require that General Manager cannot interfere with the audit activities, and to support the implementation of audit recommendations. Auditing departments can directly project, without a General Manager may directly issue audit reports, and preserve the independence of the audit. In this connection, some businesses accept the leadership of General Manager of internal audit in the Mainland, only responsible to the leaders. Auditor independence has been limited to varying degrees.
Second, the wide range of audit. Daya Bay has three main businesses: one is the regular supervision and inspection; the second is corruption caught antiseptic; the third is a special audit. Special audit work play of role maximum, audit range can including administrative sector of daily program, personnel sector wage, and salary of calculation right or not, production sector of technology configuration reasonable or not, whole audit business of carried out are around internal control of seven a elements, that sound of organization institutions, reasonable but by constraints of authorized, budget and plans, discipline code, and disciplinary disposition provides, effective of supervision mechanism, policy and program, accurate, and timely, and reliable of Management message.
The three, based on risk management as the guiding thought of does apply in the internal audits. They think the work of internal audit should reflect your organization's risk strategy, enterprise risk assessments on a regular basis. Them in the practical work of the audit risk assessment includes two aspects: on the one hand is determined according to the risk assessment audit annual plan, in a business where many potential reviewers, but limited audit resources, internal audit units during the plan period, who's who at first and then, depending on the risks associated with them, you need to determine annual audit plan based on risk. Factors as the following: 1, an annual amount. Refer to project annual revenues, capital costs, operation and maintenance costs, or otherwise measure the annual amount. 2, liquidity. Object refers to the project's important activities are easily lost, realization or personal possession. 3, the sensitivity of information and operational activities. Important activities of the project and the degree of sensitivity and confidentiality of information. As concerns the production of competitively sensitive information or private information and the company information vulnerable to tampering; adverse effects on public responsibility of internal and external factors. 4, the complexity of the transaction. Perform audit work more difficult, error chance. With the increase in the complexity of close. More factors to analyze and to follow when making decisions. Executive level should be adapted to the diversity of the experience. 5, institutional changes. The effects of institutional changes since the last audit. 6, controlled environment. Audit of the project in the past. Another aspect is based on the results of the risk assessment to determine the specific audit project audit focus in the programme of work to take the audit focus. Point is the risk of being, that is, matters affecting the realization of business goals.
Four, from traditional audit to modern audit modes, from the original audit into the operating physician or risk an advisory role. That internal audit should not only to be a good enterprise's economic guardian, and to be a good enterprise leader of general staff roles. This is the foreign Auditors say management audits and performance audits. Hong Kong attaches great importance to internal audit, in the Daya Bay nuclear power company shares in Hong Kong accounted for 25%, Xu Chuanshun was the only middle-level Chief of the Hong Kong Manager. Hong Kong are most concerned about efficiency, internal audit is an important work of our value-added audit.
Five short, audit reports, implementation of audit recommendations. The audit objectives, audit findings, audit recommendations are often a Word. They think that members of the Board or the Department managers are very busy, so the audit report as clear and concise as possible, saving you time. However, the implementation of audit recommendations is very large, it is understood that the audit proposal response rate 100% in the Daya Bay. Does not need to be signed by the Managing Director, may directly issue the audit report, an independent business, from project-audit-audit recommendations-recommendations back to form a loop, report of an audit memo, supervise the implementation of audit observations are timely and effective.
