2 2 Two distinct stages, comprising 12 steps: –Planning –Execution Some of the steps may run concurrently The starting point for self testing is the final Actual Control Registers (remediated and quality reviewed) completed during the “Documentation & Evaluation” phase of the project. Self Testing Methodology Overview Self Testing Methodology:

3 3 Step 1: Obtain Generic Test Workbook YOU ARE HERE Obtain generic Test Scripts Populate Self Testing Work Paper Template Prepare actual test scripts Determine sample Combine tests into work programs Review of Self Testing Work paper Step 1Step 2Step 3 Step 6Step 5Step 4 START PLANNING Considerations for staffing self- testing work Perform test of control Document test on Self Testing Work Paper Conclude on test of control & develop Remediation Plan Review and approve work papers and test results Step 7Step 8Step 9 Step 11 Step 10 FINISH EXECUTION Update SPUD/LL with assessment & test work papers Step 12

4 4 Generic Test Workbooks on Livelink Linked to SOX 404 Website under Generic Test Workbooks Livelink: Enterprise / Executive Committee & Corporate / Finance / Corporate Projects / SOX 404 / Central team / Methodology /Generic Test Scripts Two Sources of Generic Test Workbook: Click on Function arrow icon. Then choose “Download” to retrieve a file. Double clicking on the name of the document gives a less-well formatted result.

5 5 The Generic Test Workbook consists of 3 individual worksheets: The Generic Test Workbook Test Script Work plan – Use for example only – this may not be as current as current SPUD/ Greenlight Testing Work Paper (Old version) Test Plan and Conclusion (Old version)

6 6 YOU ARE HERE Obtain generic Test Scripts Populate Self Testing Work Paper Template Prepare actual test scripts Determine sample Combine tests into work programs Review of Self Testing Work paper Step 1Step 2Step 3 Step 6Step 5Step 4 START PLANNING Considerations for staffing self- testing work Perform test of control Document test on Self Testing Work Paper Conclude on test of control & develop Remediation Plan Review and approve work papers and test results Step 7Step 8Step 9 Step 11 Step 10 FINISH EXECUTION Update SPUD/LL with assessment & test work papers Step 12 Step 2: Obtain and Populate the Self Testing Work Paper Template 

7 7 Step 2: Populate the Self Testing Work Paper Template Source of currently used actual Testing Template: Livelink: US SOX / SOPUS / Project Implementation / Workstreams / Control Register Teams (CRT) / Documentation Template / Testing Template Note: There are 2 tabs in the Testing Template:

8 8 Test Work Paper tab This is the form to be populated in preparation for running the test of controls. (And later used for recording observations and conclusions.) Make as many copies of this tab (in the same file) as needed and label each with the specific actual control numbers within a register for the various classes of business and sites to be tested. Step 2: Populate the Self Testing Work Paper Template

9 9 Test Plan and Conclusions tab This is the form to be used to summarize the conclusions of the tests of the actual controls. Keep only one of this tab (at the front of the file). Step 2: Populate the Self Testing Work Paper Template

10 10 Populate the Self Testing Work Paper- Identification Fields Self Testing Work Paper – Identification Fields Rows 1-5 in current template Cut/paste AC Description, AC Type, AC Characteristics, AC Frequency from latest information in SPUD. Indicate AoO number (e.g. 4099 – in title cell. For version control: In both the Test Designer and Test Executor fields, use -Last name, first initial, then -Date Input Actual Control No. and Class of Business to be tested.
