01Audit purposes, risk, ethics and engagement planning
Auditing examines a defined subject against suitable criteria and communicates a supported conclusion. Financial-statement assurance, compliance work, internal audit and public performance audit have different purposes and authority. A financial audit opinion is not a guarantee that a business will succeed or that no fraud exists. The relevant engagement framework determines objectives, responsibilities and reporting requirements; it cannot be inferred from the word audit alone.

A procedure is useful because it addresses an assertion or criterion, not merely because it appears on a standard checklist. Inspecting an asset can support existence but does not necessarily establish ownership, complete recording or appropriate valuation. Tracing source documents into records can address completeness, while selecting recorded items and examining support can address occurrence. Direction matters, and the exact design depends on the population and engagement.

Completion considers whether the collected evidence supports the intended conclusion in light of all relevant findings. A set of individually checked figures can still fail to provide a coherent basis for the overall report. Revisit risk and materiality when new information changes the original assessment. Unresolved contradictions, missing work and the implications of errors should be addressed rather than hidden because the reporting date is near.
