1 - Audit Planning Fails - 5 Mistakes


🔍 Audit failure often begins in the planning phase.

Avoiding these five common mistakes can significantly improve audit outcomes:

  • 🚫 Accepting an audit without the right resources or budget — setting the engagement up for failure.
  • 👤 Assigning the wrong person to plan — lack of experience can mean risks are missed.
  • ⏱️ Allocating insufficient time to planning — rushing leads to shallow understanding of the client and its risks.
  • 🕒 Starting planning too late — clients struggle to provide key evidence and documentation.
  • ⚠️ Lack of partner involvement — without senior input, critical risks may go unidentified.

📽️ Watch the video now to see how each of these errors unfolds — and why avoiding them is non-negotiable.
