Not sure if all these approvals are really necessary.

Surprised that some think client approval is enough.

I think it should be reviewed by management too.

Geraldine 10 months ago

I agree, auditee management should definitely review it.

Definitely needs to be approved by the auditee!

I feel like it’s crucial for the organization to review the plan, but I can't recall if that’s the final step before distribution.

Phil 11 months ago

I’m a bit confused about whether it should be the client or the auditee that approves the plan. They seem similar but might have different implications.

Eleni 11 months ago

I remember a practice question where it mentioned the importance of management's review, so I might lean towards option D.

Carlota 11 months ago

I think the plan needs to be approved by the auditee, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term for it.

I'm pretty sure the right answer is C - the plan should be reviewed by the organization to be audited. That makes the most sense to me in terms of the auditor needing to get buy-in from the auditee before finalizing the plan.

Kristel 12 months ago

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't the client the one who hires the auditor? Wouldn't they need to approve the plan? Or is it the auditee management? This is tripping me up a bit.

Rosita 12 months ago

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the auditor needs to have the plan reviewed and approved by the organization that's being audited, not the client. So the right answer here is C.

Felicidad 12 months ago

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the auditor needs to get the plan approved, but I can't quite remember if it's the client, the auditee, or someone else. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This question is making me hungry. Anyone else feel like a nice audit-themed snack? Maybe some audit biscuits or auditor's delight?

Hmm, I'm torn between B) and D). Auditee approval is crucial, but management review could also be important. 50/50 on this one.

A) approved by the client? Come on, that's just giving them too much control over the audit process. B) is the way to go.
