Audit Planning - Procedures & Documentation

Master the Essentials of Effective Audit Planning

Overview

Audit planning is a critical phase of the audit process, setting the foundation for a thorough and efficient engagement. A well-structured plan ensures that risks of material misstatement are properly identified and addressed, ultimately shaping the audit approach.
