One of the major objectives of the SOFT Audit is audit integration.  The following handouts have been used and discussed at our presentations and, due to numerous requests, we are publishing these on our website. 

Each sheet has general SOX Objectives/What Could Go Wrong Questions on the left column and on top are general Operational Auditing objectives.  Each user can see where these objectives interject throughout this spreadsheet and can see how closely SOX and Operational Auditing can intertwine.
