According to IIA guidance, which of the following steps should precede the development of audit engagement objectives?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Risk Assessment: Before developing audit engagement objectives, a thorough risk assessment should be conducted. This step helps identify and prioritize the areas of highest risk, ensuring that the audit focuses on the most critical issues.

Establishing Objectives: The results of the risk assessment guide the development of specific, relevant, and focused audit objectives. This ensures that the engagement addresses key risk areas and adds value to the organization.

Sequential Steps: Identification of controls, scope establishment, and review of resources are important steps but typically follow the initial risk assessment to ensure the audit is aligned with the organization's risk profile.
