Glossary/Experienced auditor standard

What is Experienced auditor standard?

In short

Audit documentation must be detailed enough for an experienced auditor with no previous connection to the audit to understand the procedures performed, the evidence obtained, the conclusions reached and the significant judgments made.

Key takeaways

  • It covers who performed and reviewed the work and when.
  • Significant findings and how they were resolved must be documented.
  • Oral explanations alone aren't sufficient support for the work.
