During an exit interview, senior management disagrees with some of the facts presented in the draft audit report and wants them removed from the report. Which of the following would be the auditor's BEST course of action?
A.
Revise the assessment based on senior management's objections
B.
Gather evidence to analyze senior management's objections.
C.
Escalate the issue to audit management.
D.
Finalize the draft audit report without changes.
If the dispute is unresolvable and of significant importance, escalation to audit management may be considered, but a thorough evaluation of the basis for the dispute will usually be undertaken first.
If the objections cannot be resolved through discussion, the auditor should escalate the issue to audit management for further review. The audit management can review the objections raised by senior management and the evidence supporting the audit findings and determine the appropriate course of action.
yes. Unless it is pointed out that the facts are incorrect, mere disagreement will not do. Should be escalated to Audit management
