Risk Insights - Conor McGarrity and Yusuf Moolla

In this episode we discuss why discovery exercises are becoming very useful for audits.
They help de-risk the conduct of audits, and the three main scenarios we use them for:
 

  1. Audit topic validation and overall audit planning
  2. Scoping, depth and deliverable
  3. Planning individual audits
