  • Question 3: How do auditors ensure the continuity of exploitation during audits?

    Respondents emphasized that this point cannot be ignored, as it is considered an accounting charge. If this accounting is not available, there is no need for auditing and auditing.

    Respondents mentioned restrictions, basic accounting (balance sheet, ledger, journal), invoices, contracts, instruments, statement of conversion, which constitute a convincing element.

  • Question 5: How do auditors plan the audit function and develop a fundamental and intuitive program that contributes to the success of the audit?

    Respondents explained that planning the financial statements includes identifying the regulatory and legal framework of the Entity and how it conforms. Planning the audit function involves developing a program that will contribute to the success of the audit.
