Focus on key risks
The work in the planning phase develops and expands upon information contained in the
audit proposal
. The main objective is to determine whether the audit is
realistic, realisable and likely to be useful
. This phase may lead to the preparation of the
task plan
or a
reassessment
of whether to carry out the audit as planned in the
annual work programme
.
The extent of the work necessary depends on the audit team's existing
knowledge of the audit area
, but must be such as to enable the preparation of the
task plan
. If the audit area and possible
audit questions
are well known, or the audit subject derives from existing financial or compliance audits, preliminary work may be unnecessary. Detailed audit testing work should not be carried out at this stage; rather, the emphasis is on considering the
availability of information
and the
feasibility of methods
.
