Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auditors should exercise professional skepticism and be prepared to modify planned audit procedures as needed to obtain more reliable evidence. This may include obtaining additional documentation or performing more substantive testing. Simply relying on internally generated evidence or requesting that management generate evidence may not be sufficient to ensure the reliability of the evidence obtained. Additionally, relying solely on the internal audit function to generate evidence may not be appropriate if there are concerns about their independence or competency.
