ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 Question 61

Audit Work Papers — documentation that records the auditing procedures performed and forms the basis of the audit opinion.

The correct answer is d): audit work papers are an execution record of the auditing procedure implemented by an auditor, and they form the basis of the audit opinion.

Why not the others:

• •a) Describes an information security promissory letter presented to the audited department — this is unrelated to work papers.
• •b) Describes standards and guidelines used for implementing an audit — these are audit standards or frameworks, not work papers.
• •c) Suggests a document that must be disclosed with the audit report to prove due diligence — work papers are retained by the auditor and are not typically disclosed alongside the report.

Key rule: Audit work papers = the auditor's detailed record of what was done and what was found, serving as the evidentiary foundation for the final audit opinion.
