Audit Report Quality Checklist

Review a report before issue: an executive summary that answers the objective, consistent conclusions, well-built and evidenced findings, actions that fix root causes, and checked names, figures and sensitive information.

What you'll find inside

  • Overall message checks: executive summary, consistent conclusion, most important risks first, neutral language, and facts separated from explanations
  • Findings checks: condition, risk and root cause, credible criteria, evidence for the stated severity, quantified impact and consolidated duplicates
  • Actions and quality checks: root-cause actions, owners and dates, documented risk acceptance, checked figures and handling of sensitive information
  • Risk prompts on control bypass, one-person control of an outcome and exceptions that have become normal practice
  • An “evidence to retain” list for your workpapers, plus a Done / Review / N/A status key, with space for auditor notes and testing exceptions
  • A completion page with six closing checks and a final conclusion, owner and follow-up date
