What Is Operational Audit?
An operational audit is an independent review of a company’s business processes, workflows, and resource utilization to assess efficiency, effectiveness, and alignment with organizational objectives. Unlike a financial audit, it focuses on how well operations are running rather than the accuracy of financial statements, examining areas such as procurement, supply chain, staffing, and workflow bottlenecks. Operational audits help management identify cost-saving opportunities and process improvements across departments.
