Risk Assessment

 The purposes of the audit committee are:

• Evaluating management's assessment of the body's system of internal controls (4-35-105(1))
• Informing the comptroller of the treasury of the results of assessment and controls to reduce the risk of fraud (4-35-105 (4))

Management conducts a formal risk assessment of its institution to be approved by the audit committee.

Risk Assessment Tool 

The Chief Audit Executive was charged with the task of researching and determining what products were available to conduct a risk assessment.  The Chief Audit Executive selected the "Crawford Risk Analysis Tool."  The Crawford Tool is a series of linked excel spreadsheets with embedded macros, that, based on management's input, produce various risk assessment documents.
