As well as their public report on the financial
statements, the auditors will typically have more
detailed communications with the audit committee.
These communications may include a description of
how the audit was carried out, the audit plan, the
auditor’s views about the company’s accounting
practices (including accounting policies, estimates
and disclosures), how the auditors satisfied
themselves on the key issues that arose, and
significant difficulties, if any, encountered during the
audit. The auditors may also comment to the audit
committee on their insights in areas such as the
strength of the organisation’s internal
control systems
