I feel like "Auditor competence" might be important, but it doesn't really describe what the audit aims to achieve, right?

I'm a bit confused about "Audit duration" being an objective. It seems more like a logistical detail than an actual objective.

I think "Determining conformity" and "Checking legal compliance" are definitely related to audit objectives, but I'm not entirely sure.
