There is ample opportunity for auditors to dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both in-house and external legal counsel. Auditing the legal process is one way to help reduce waste associated with legal representation.
The audit can be performed within a reasonable amount of time and with a moderate amount of resources, provided the appropriate steps have been taken:
- Planning the audit
- Employing the right staff
- Performing the right audit steps
- Limiting the distribution of the report
- Performing a timely follow-up
Legal Services: Auditing the Process provides audit checklists, key notes, and a detailed set of tests that will be useful to internal auditors and anyone subject to an audit of legal services.
