Framework for Comprehensive Process Audit Scope


This PPT slide, part of the 47-slide Organizational Velocity - Improving Speed, Efficiency & Effectiveness of Business PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for conducting process audits across six key business functions. It categorizes activities into "in-scope" and "out-of-scope" areas, providing a clear delineation of what will be examined during the audit. The highlighted functions include Management/Admin, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Research & Technology, and other areas, indicating a comprehensive approach to process evaluation.

In the "in-scope" section, specific activities are listed for each function. For Management/Admin, strategic planning is emphasized, suggesting a focus on high-level decision-making processes. Marketing includes brand planning, advertising planning, and trade promotions, which are critical for understanding market positioning and customer engagement. Sales features account management and integrated business planning (IBP), pointing to the importance of customer relationships and operational alignment. Finance encompasses processes like order to cash, annual budgeting, and forecasting, highlighting financial management's role in organizational efficiency. Research & Technology includes innovation, which is vital for sustaining competitive positioning.

The "out-of-scope" section identifies areas that will not be audited, such as corporate reputation and IT processes. This exclusion clarifies the audit's focus, ensuring that resources are directed toward the most impactful areas. The slide serves as a foundational reference for stakeholders considering a process audit, illustrating the structured approach to identifying and evaluating key operational functions. The clear categorization enhances understanding and sets expectations for what the audit will cover, making it a valuable tool for decision-makers.
