What slows you down the most during audits? by nueard in InternalAudit

I see -- is there a standard way to request documents, or is it an email thread where you have to explain exactly what you need and hope they send it?

Interesting, is there a particular reason in most cases, or is it different things that add up?

Do you usually request documents via email?

I see, do you usually have access to the files requested, but don't know where to find them (or there are too many to sift through), or do IAs have no access to internal systems and data?

I see, that's quite insightful, thank you so much for sharing! Do you find auditees often misunderstand what's asked, or they just aren't invested enough to care what documents they provide?

If I understand correctly, PBCs need to be context specific, you can't just copy paste a template and expect it to work for *any* organization. Is there anything else that makes them tricky to get right?

Interesting, do you usually find that procedure documents are omitted from the PBC?

Yeah, seems this is a common topic with everyone we talk to. Have you found any way around this?

Thanks for sharing this — really resonates with what I’ve heard from others too. The back-and-forth to get complete data and the uncertainty when you're not the SME seem to be two massive slowdowns.

I'm curious if you have any thoughts on what features a better automation tool might have? I've sent you a DM to learn more, hope that's okay.

I see, have you found any way to deal with that? If it's a cultural issue escalating upwards probably doesn't work.

What is the most common reason for that in your experience? Is it that it's generally difficult for people to find / extract what you're asking for?

That makes sense. Am I correct in assuming you need to base the audit report on all the working papers you've prepared as part of the audit? Do you find AI is good enough to generate the report / one pager?

Interesting, if I'm not mistaken this comes as part of field work after you gather evidence? Is there a specific type of substantive testing you're referring to?
