But what about when the internal auditor provides negative assurance because they found no evidence of misconduct? Shouldn't that also be disclosed in the final audit report?

I agree with Norah. It's important to disclose nonconformance when there is a risk of errors or misconduct due to lack of experience or expertise.

I think the final audit report should include a disclosure of nonconformance with the Standards when there is a new internal auditor assigned to a task they are not qualified for.
