Risk Assessment & Methodology 
Best Practice Framework 
We perform a risk assessment over Port operations annually to drive our Flexible 
Work Plan. The plan is established based on:

Strategy 
Discussions with key Port leadership 
Data analytics 
Prior audit history 
It is developed and designed to align our audit strategy with Port goals. 
For simplification we group risks into 6 auditable units:

Information Technology 
The Port uses technology for innovation and to drive success of its strategies and programs. Therefore, information
technology is critical to Port success, and is an integral part of the Internal Audit annual work plans. 
Like in the past years, Internal Audit information technology projects are outsourced to external IT
firms. These audits are managed by internal audit staff.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
