The observation provided in the final engagement communication includes the criteria (competitive bidding requirements), condition (three of the 10 contracts reviewed did not meet these requirements), and cause (senior management deemed these purchases critical and awarded them as sole-source). However, it lacks the effect, which would explain the potential consequences or impact of not meeting the competitive bidding requirements, such as increased costs, lack of transparency, or potential for favoritism.

The most critical factor in determining which engagements should be included in the annual internal audit plan is the organization's annual risk management strategy. This strategy identifies the key risks facing the organization and ensures that the internal audit plan aligns with the areas of highest risk. This prioritization helps ensure that internal audit resources are focused on areas that could have the most significant impact on the organization. References:

The focus of the effect section of the preliminary observations document should be on residual risk. Residual risk is the remaining risk after management has taken action to mitigate the inherent risk with controls and other risk responses. Documenting the effect in terms of residual risk helps in understanding the potential impact of the observed issues on the organization if not addressed.
