| 38- | The unit must document a comprehensive list of the bank's units and its affiliated entities subject to audit, serving as a comprehensive framework for audit processes. |
| 39- | This list should cover all operational units, products, services, systems, risks, and processes of the bank. |
| 40- | The list should include all requirements set by the central bank for the unit and be part of the comprehensive audit framework. |
| 41- | Ensure that the comprehensive audit programs for this list cover relevant central bank instructions and internal policies, and that they are developed for each unit within the bank and its affiliated entities within the comprehensive audit framework. |
| 42- | The unit should develop an official framework for assessing the risks of each unit in the bank and its affiliated entities listed separately. This framework should also identify risk factors, such as: the latest audit assessment, time elapsed since the last audit, applicable and realized risk levels, complexity, etc., as a basis for risk assessment. The frequency of audits for each unit in the bank and its affiliated entities may be based on this risk assessment (e.g., increasing the frequency for high-risk units and entities). |
| 43- | The unit should review all units in the bank and its affiliated entities documented in the list at least annually to ensure completeness and coverage of all units, products, systems, and procedures of the bank. |
| 44- | The unit should document an official audit cycle that covers all units in the bank and its affiliated entities listed, and execute this cycle within a defined period, which may extend from three to four years depending on the risk classification of each listed item, in accordance with the risk-based approach. |
