Question 1
Question
Second stage of audit process is [blank_start]planning audit[blank_end]
Question 2
Question
When planning audit, minimising [blank_start]audit risk[blank_end] should be thought about. When looking at minimising [blank_start]audit risk[blank_end] some things need to be thought about such as [blank_start]pre-engagement[blank_end] work (work that happens [blank_start]before[blank_end] auditor gets into [blank_start]audit[blank_end] appointment), [blank_start]post-engagement[blank_end] work (think about [blank_start]pre detailed[blank_end] work so understand [blank_start]entity[blank_end], [blank_start]plan[blank_end] work & [blank_start]design[blank_end] audit procedures)

Question 3
Question
In pre-engagement process, [blank_start]auditors[blank_end] firstly determine whether entity fits their [blank_start]risk[blank_end] profile before [blank_start]accepting[blank_end] engagement. Also, auditors need to consider [blank_start]independence[blank_end] of audit firm & ability to perform work for [blank_start]fee[blank_end].
