Performance Auditing Planning and Fieldwork

This session will consider the core skills auditors need in each phase of the audit process, and will describe key components that make performance audits highly structured to produce findings.  From planning through reporting, we'll apply the notions of "findings" and "evidence" to the audit process to align your skills with productive audit work!  We’ll focus on the early phases of the performance audit process to build in early success and also consider tools to speed the audit process!

Learning Objectives:  Understand types and tests of evidence, connect evidence to audit findings and results.  Apply audit standards to each phase of the performance audit process.  Equip new and experienced auditors with skills and connected concepts to make the audit process more efficient.
