I thought it was technical at first, but confirmative sounds right!

I vaguely recall that external audit reports provide assurance, which sounds like confirmative evidence to me.

I think an external audit report is more about confirming the accuracy of financial statements, so maybe it's confirmative evidence?

I've got this! An external audit report is a form of confirmative evidence. It's an independent, third-party assessment that confirms the accuracy and reliability of the client's financial statements. Nailed it!

I'm a bit unsure on this one. Is an external audit report considered technical evidence? It does involve specialized audit procedures and expertise. Or maybe it's a different type of evidence altogether that I'm not remembering. I'll have to think this through.

Okay, let's see. An external audit report is not a physical piece of evidence, so that's out. It's also not really analytical evidence. I'm leaning towards it being confirmative evidence, since the audit report confirms the financial information.

This is a no-brainer. It's clearly confirmative evidence. Unless the auditor was using a crystal ball, in which case it would be considered 'mystical evidence.'

External audit report? That's gotta be physical evidence, like the actual document, right? Or maybe it's a trick question and the answer is none of the above.
