Question #: 8
Topic #: 1
[All IIA-IAP Questions]

What is the primary purpose of a preliminary survey?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Sufficient Documentation: Audit workpapers must support observations, conclusions, and recommendations made during the engagement and align with engagement objectives.


Other Options:

Option A: While following up on recommendations is important, workpapers primarily support observations and conclusions, not the implementation of management actions.

Option B: Repeatability is important but secondary to aligning documentation with objectives.

Thus, the correct answer is C. Support engagement observations and be consistent with engagement objectives.

Definitely B. Preliminary surveys are like a warm-up for the main event. Gotta stretch those auditing muscles before diving in head-first.

C) To determine why the engagement is being performed. Come on, we all know that's the real reason we're here. Might as well be upfront about it.

I agree, B is the way to go. Gotta get the lay of the land before you can do anything else. Unless you're a psychic auditor, which unfortunately I'm not.

B) To gain an understanding of the process under review. Seems like the most logical choice to me. Can't really do a good audit without knowing the process first.
