Recently, and OTS examiner suggested that the internal auditors should not have 'inquiry' capabilities for customer accounts. That is, an internal auditor should not be able to access a customer of the banks' savings, checking or loan accounts, view transactions, balances, etc. Our internal auditors do not, of course, have 'maintenance' capabilities to any account, loan, savings, checking, general ledger, etc. Our internal auditors use the 'inquiry' as a backoffice review tool and cannot see the logic to deny access. Comments anyone? Do other banks limit access for their internal auditors? I appreciate any and all commments.
