The IA’s vision and mission are implemented in the form of IA’s
activities that are that are carried out systematically, measurably and
in accordance with applicable standards from preparation stage, the
risk-based audit methodology becomes the main guideline which
emphasizes that the determination of auditable units is auditable
based on the level of risk, the higher the risk the higher the need to be
audited. The level of risk from the audit object is based on risks that
have been mapped and determined by the company as well as
professional judgment by the IA itself.
Firstly we should know the definition of audit program. Audit program is a procedure
describing the steps and tests to be performed by the auditor when actually doing
fieldwork.
Audit program formats and their operations
Depending on the type of planned audit, programs usually follow one of
three general formats:
A set of general audit procedures
Audit procedures with detailed instructions for the auditor
A checklist for compliance reviews
So based on code of ethics and corporate culture, which is mentioned Telkom organizes an
online survey program of business ethics with all employees as the population through portal/
intranet media. So Telkom Indonesia will use a checklist for compliance reviews.
questions requiring “yes or no or not applicable” responses and would complete these program
steps either through examinations of documents or through interviews.
This table is a checklist-format program for reviewing ethics and business compliance policies.
“Yes and no” responses, when asked in an information-gathering context, are often appropriate.
Audit, the reviewer will be asking questions about whether the entity is or is not doing
something. Yes or no responses are appropriate for this type of audit program, since there is not
a very strong need to investigate corroborative evidence here.
A checklist format audit program has two weaknesses, however. First, while a series of yes or
no type interview responses can cause an experienced auditor to look at problem areas or to
ask other questions, a less experienced auditor may not go beyond the yes and no and dig a bit
deeper into where they might lead. A procedures-oriented audit program better encourages
follow-up inquiries in other areas where the information gathered may raise questions. The
questionnaire format audit program also tends to cause the auditor to miss examining
necessary evidential matter when asking the questions. An inexperienced internal auditor can
too easily check “yes” on the questionnaire without determining, for example, whether that
response is properly supported by audit evidence. An example would be a question regarding
whether some critical document is regularly approved. It is easy to ask the question, receive an
answer of “yes”, and never follow up to see if those documents were actually approved. Each of
these audit program formats will work for different types of reviews, provided the internal auditor
gives some thought to the program questions. The key concern is that all audits should be
supported by an audit program that documents the review steps performed.

IV. Audit evidence assessment: Internal auditors make assessments about audit issues or
satisfy their audit objectives through detailed reviews of what is called audit evidence.
Audit evidence is one of the international standards on auditing. The process assessing
audit evidence is often a challenge and a source of concerns for many internal auditors.
