Guidelines for Flow Chart
Flowcharts communicate the flow of documents and records and several elements of internal control. To help flowcharts communicate effectively:
- Use specialized symbols
- Use flow lines: These are used to show how documents and records are related. Arrowheads are used to indicate the direction of the flow.
- Show separation of duties: Areas of responsibility are established on flowcharts as vertical columns or sections through which the flow of documents takes place horizontally (from left to right). This technique enables the reader to identify clearly changes in responsibility as the documents flow through the system
- Include relevant internal controls: The inclusion of significant internal controls in a flowchart aids the auditor in evaluating internal control
- Examples: Include authorizations, internal verification, and reconciliations
- Comments and Clarification: Draw the flowchart, including comments and annotations
