AP has always to be approved by CAE before starting the bloc
Get the feedback in order to improve better audit program
CAE can evaluate performance of audit team via Audit
Program
Can be a training instrument especially for a new staff
Do the checklist/ QAR checklist for controlling quality of AP
Work should be completed in time as stated in AP
One audit program may not fit all types of audit work
Size of audit engagement determines ‘duration’ (period of
time)
Tell client ahead of time (prepare for the audit)
Have contact person or Liaison (client)
You can change the program (if circumstances are changed)
but it always has to be approved
 Always monitoring the AP (Audit Program Management)
 Assess the accomplishment of audit objectives
 Which issue is confidential … taking care and beware of it!!!
