An internal audit plan template provides the foundation for a structured, methodical approach to your organization’s audit process. Unlike generic audit checklists, this template focuses specifically on the planning phase—helping you define clear objectives, establish realistic timelines, and allocate appropriate resources before audit execution begins.

You can use this template to transform scattered audit activities into a cohesive program that aligns with your company’s strategic goals. We created this template to help you move from reactive, ad-hoc auditing to a systematic approach that delivers meaningful insights.

Frequently asked questions

How do I determine the scope for my internal audit plan?

Determine your audit scope by conducting a risk assessment across business units and processes. Identify high-risk areas based on financial impact, regulatory requirements, previous audit findings, and operational complexity. Then prioritize these areas while considering available resources and organizational objectives to establish a focused, meaningful scope.

How can I ensure my internal audit plan addresses emerging risks?

Keep your audit plan flexible by incorporating a risk assessment update process that occurs quarterly. Establish communication channels with operational teams to identify emerging risks promptly. Reserve a portion of audit resources (10-15%) for addressing new risks that weren’t apparent during the initial planning phase.

What timeline should my internal audit plan cover?

Your internal audit plan should primarily cover a 12-month period with detailed scheduling, while also including a high-level view of the next 2-3 years. This approach balances immediate planning needs with strategic foresight, allowing you to demonstrate comprehensive risk coverage over time while maintaining flexibility.
