However, when interviewing management, the main difference is that auditors are now expected to primarily listen to management. This means that auditors should focus on understanding management's perspective, concerns, and any issues they may have, rather than just presenting information or informing them about audit processes. This shift in focus allows auditors to gather important insights and information directly from management, which can help in conducting a more effective and targeted audit.Rate this question:

The purpose of interviewing management is to gain an understanding of their point of view and their role in the business. This helps auditors assess the effectiveness of management's controls and decision-making processes.

By "digging deep" into the information, we can identify any potential issues or irregularities that may exist. This involves conducting detailed examinations, performing tests, and verifying the accuracy and completeness of the data. By doing so, we can provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the organization's financial health and identify any areas of concern that may require further attention or action.Rate this question:

By understanding the cause, the corrective actions can be tailored to address the underlying problem and prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. This approach adds value to the audit process by ensuring that the recommendations are targeted and impactful.Rate this question:

There is a lack of centralized risk management strategy and policies, resulting in a fragmented and inefficient risk management process.Rate this question:
