Methodology

A consistent path for every engagement.

NOMIA is built around a single engagement method, so every audit — from a quick control review to a full-scope engagement — follows the same disciplined path from scoping to closed action.

Method

One engagement, four phases.

NOMIA structures every engagement the same way, aligned with the IIA's International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), from planning through to closed action plans.

  1. Phase 1: Plan

    Scope the engagement and align it with the risks that matter.

    • Scope and objectives agreed up front
    • Risk assessment of the audited process
    • Work programme and staffing
  2. Phase 2: Fieldwork

    Gather evidence and document testing as the engagement runs.

    • Interviews and control testing
    • Referenced and reviewed workpapers
    • Findings qualified by severity
  3. Phase 3: Report

    Turn findings into a report auditees and leadership can act on.

    • Draft report and management response with auditees
    • Prioritised recommendations with owners and due dates
    • Validation by the Head of Internal Audit
  4. Phase 4: Follow up

    Track action plans through to closure, not just the report.

    • Action plans with named owners
    • Automatic reminders ahead of due dates
    • Closure rate tracked for the audit committee

Why it matters

What the method delivers.

Consistent quality across every engagement

The same phases, the same workpaper discipline and the same review points apply whoever runs the engagement.

A shorter path from finding to closed action

Recommendations carry an owner and a due date from the start, so nothing waits for a follow-up spreadsheet.

Evidence-ready for external quality reviews

Referenced workpapers and a traceable audit trail are there by default, not assembled after the fact.

Give internal audit the tool it deserves.

A single demo is enough to see what NOMIA changes in the day-to-day of your engagements and in preparing your audit committee.
