Course Description

The planning process is a critical factor in the success of an audit engagement. It could mean the difference between an efficient and effective audit engagement and an engagement that went over budget and struggled to achieve all the audit objectives. The purpose of any audit engagement is the achievement of the audit objectives. The success of the engagement may well depend on the planning. There are a number of things that impact the planning, such as the number of available auditors, the auditors' experience levels, the time allotted, the complexity of the audit objectives, and in some cases, the location of the engagement.

Learning Objectives:


  • Plan audit engagement  

  • Present an annual risk-based audit plan  

  • Perform a preliminary survey of the engagement area 

  • Summarize the audit objectives 

  • Determine the audit scope 

  • Outline the audit program 

  • List and define the relevant audit standards
