John Josephs, an audit manager for Tip, Acanoe Tylerto, was asked to speak at a dinner meeting of the local Small Business Administration Association. The president of the association has suggested that he talk about the various phases of the audit process. John has asked you, his trusted assistant, to prepare an outline for his speech. He suggests that you answer the following:
a. List and describe the various phases of an audit.
b. Describe how audit procedures designed for one purpose might provide evidence for other purposes. Give an example.
c. One of the phases involves understanding an entity's internal control. Why might the members of the association be particularly interested in the work conducted by auditors in this phase of the audit?
