ADM advocates the conduction of reengineering processes following the model-driven architecture (MDA) principles [2, 5], i.e., all the main software artifacts considered along with the process are platform-independent model (PIM), platform-specific model (PSM) or computational-independent model (CIM).
Additionally, while cost savings and expedience force the implementation to closely follow the existing and approved internal audit program, a certain level of reengineering of audit processes is inevitable due to the necessity to separate formalizable and non-formalizable parts of the program.
Architecture-driven modernization (ADM) is the new generation of reengineering in which models are used as main artifacts during the whole process.
