A Best Audit Practice is any auditing routine/procedure/audit program step/or audit technique that you have developed that contributes to an effective audit or covers an administrative function for your department. If you or someone else thinks it’s a good idea, then share it with your fellow auditors.
The authors of the top three entries chosen as the very best of all practices submitted will receive one of three gift certificates in the amount of $100, $50 or $25, as well as a plaque to recognize your contribution.
Winners will be announced at the Annual Conference. However, you do not need to be present at the Conference to win.
The Best Practice Committee evaluates all entries. Criteria for selecting the winner will include originality, ability to implement or use/reuse, adaptability to the credit union size, overall value to the credit union, and the value to the audit department.
