The theoretical possibility of Commission of Offences was assessed with exclusive reference to the intrinsic characteristics of the activity, regardless of who is doing it and without taking into account the control systems already in place.
- Identify the existing audit procedures: audit procedures reasonably appropriate to prevent that offences considered already operating in previously identified sensitive areas, have been established.
- Evaluate residual risk: For each sensitive activity, has been estimated the residual risk that an offence is committed once the internal control system that characterizes the activity in question, is considered.
- Identifying prevention procedures and protocols: have been established the procedures and protocols of prevention that must be implemented, to prevent that offences are committed.
