Title
What are the Impacts and Perceptions of Models of Auditing on Organisational Change Management?
Project Aims
I want to learn about the perceptions, that is, to understand about the various models of auditing that are required in changing the organisation’s management. I also want to find out about the impacts that the various models of auditing would have on the organisational change management.
Objectives
· To identify the perceptions of models of auditing on organisational change management.
· To analyse the impacts of models of auditing on organisational change management.
· To evaluate the negative impacts of models of auditing on organisational change management
· To recommend suitable strategies in order to improve the perceptions and impacts of models of auditing on organisational change management.
Section Two: Reasons for Choosing this Project
Reason 1: Concepts Studied
I have studied about five concepts and the things I have learned are given below as follows:
Management Auditing
Management Auditing is a sequential analysis that evaluates a company’s overall performances and activities (Eltweri et al. 2020). I learned that it is a form of audit, which reviews and examines the different strategies and policies of the management based on certain objectives. It recommends change in policies in the interests of shareholders, employees, company’s reputation and customers’ needs. The aim of management audit is to calculate the effectiveness of the company and execute the principles and policies. The management audit locates and examines the differences and provides appropriate recommendations. Thus, I understood that it has a huge role in organisational change management.
Financial Auditing
Financial auditing refers to the accounting process, which presents the actual amount of the business transactions of a company (Knechel, Thomas and Driskill, 2020). In financial auditing, I collected data from company’s tax returns, balance sheets, income documents and billing invoices. I also gathered data from the organisation's reporting and control systems. When the company undergoes any change within itself then the financial auditing would also change because the company's control and reporting system would be modified.
Change Management
Change management involves techniques, in which an organisation undergoes changes in both internal and external processes (Galli, 2018). I recognised that the companies that have effective communication skills could easily adapt to change management. I realised that there are four principles in change management. Those four are as follows:
· Understand the change
· Plan the change
· Implement the change
· Communicate the change
For organisational change, every company needs to adapt to change management since it reduces the risks, which are associated with introduction of new elements and modifications of pre-existing elements.
Organisational Development
Organisational development is a systematic scientific change, which helps the companies to attain their capability to change (Kafile, 2018). Through this, an organisation could achieve more effectiveness by evolving, upgrading and supporting the strategies, structures and processes. There are seven stages in organisational development, which are given below:
· Initial Diagnosis
· Data Collection
· Data Feedback
· Planning Strategy
· Intervention
· Team Building
· Evaluation
