Purpose
Use this report to assess objectively whether programme risk management is being performed as intended and whether its processes and responses are effective. The audit should produce evidence-based findings and prioritised preventive or corrective recommendations—not assign personal blame.
Application
Risk audits complement wider programme audits and routine risk reviews. Schedule them in the programme master schedule where practical, while retaining the ability to commission an ad hoc audit after a material event or when control effectiveness is uncertain. Programme-level audits examine cross-component exposure and governance; component managers may conduct narrower audits within their authority.
Completion discipline
State the reporting or review period, scope, evidence sources and preparer. Separate observed facts from analysis, assign owners and dates to follow-up actions, obtain the required approval, and retain the report with its supporting records.
