Mistakes Responding to Auditors

Misreading what the auditor is asking or asking for

Not fully understanding the scope and implications of auditor inquiries

Forwarding documents to auditors with obvious errors

Responding with the wrong policy or procedure documents

Being distracted or confused by auditor's multiple requests

Not providing relevant info due to elimination of areas that are applicable to a request

Not having detail knowledge of the specific test area, and not asking for appropriate help

Attempting to respond to auditors by guessing or using intuition
