Question
what are the steps involved in auditing
Dear WLE,
Thank you for contacting me.
The steps involved in auditing are:
1) Pre planning the engagement
2) Learning about the client and the client's industry
3) Selecting the staff that will participate in the audit
4) Brainstorming with those involved in the audit engagement and finding out areas that are vulnerable or the risk of fraud
5) Meeting with the client (opening meeting)
6) Planning fieldwork
7) Performing audit procedures
8) Discussing findings
9) Issuing reports and discussing it with the client
10) Exit interview
I wish you continued success in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Consuelo Herrera, CAMS, CFE
