Reviews documentation of flows of transactions and tests of relevant controls early in the audit cycle to allow for timely assessment of the planned audit approach and the entity's control environment.
Suggests mitigating testing when controls are found to be ineffective, without always having to consult with the senior manager or partner. Applies professional skepticism to consider the broader impact (e.g. fraud risks, communication with those charged with governance) on our audit when significant controls are found to be ineffective or other conditions may indicate possible misstatements.

Actively participates in the group risk assessment scoping of work to be performed by component auditors. Prepares and reviews referral instructions on a timely basis that clearly set up the group auditor's expectations and evaluates responses from component auditors.
Runs file check regularly throughout the audit, checks all points have been cleared at the end of each audit and chooses an appropriate file structure for each engagement, including group engagements.
Engages early with scheduling and the extended engagement team. Clearly communicate expectations regarding responsibilities and deadlines to all members of the engagement team.
Communicates the project plan and any entity-related dependencies with the entity's management team so that they are aware, at the beginning of the audit, of any repercussions (e.g., deadlines, fees) due to deviations from this plan.

Performs reviews with professional skepticism considering whether the results of testing sufficiently assess, test and objectively challenge the appropriateness and reliability of the assumptions and data used to support management's assertions.
