What happens when your audit files are selected for review ? Are your quality control procedures effective to ensure these files will be correct or do they need Fixing before being ready for review?
The aim of this course is to ensure you have everything that is necessary in your audit file for it to comply with the quality as required from the auditing standards. Regardless of your audit methodology or software, this course will take you through the standards and what is required to be documented. Delegates should then identify if everything is included in their methodology or if it needs to be added manually.
Significant issues will be discussed with regards to IRBA reviews and how to avoid these potholes.
Quality control is ultimately the responsibility of the partners and the managers, and as such this course will also focus on the responsibilities of the partners and the managers throughout the audit to ensure quality control and proper documentation. This includes direction, supervision and review.
