In the findings I have found less timing of the audit procedure. In this firm I was involved with audit engagement. My experience was three months but I have identified some problems that firm face in many cases. One of the big problems is rotation from one audit engagement to another very quickly. And they have few times to complete an audit engagement. For that reason, it is difficult to obtaining required audit evidence.
In the recommendation, it’s explained that all transaction test is not possible for that reason an auditor choice some transaction for the accurate test. If test is successful, then auditor gives their opinion. For the short time audit procedure student fail to follow the overall audit procedure that is followed by Habib Sarwar Bhuiyan and co.
