This interactive module prepares participants for their role in performing workpaper reviews in governmental audits, with a focus on the responsibilities and strategies that contribute to an effective review process. Participants will explore the documentation requirements established by professional standards and examine the characteristics that distinguish high-quality audit documentation from documentation that is unclear or incomplete.

The module focuses on evaluating governmental audit documentation for completeness, clarity, and appropriate linkage to identified risks and audit procedures. Participants will also explore common documentation deficiencies and consider how effective review comments can help address issues, support supervision, and facilitate timely resolution.

Through several learning activities and a hands-on case study, participants will practice applying the concepts covered in the module. Learners will perform a detailed review of audit documentation and develop clear, specific, and actionable review comments that provide meaningful guidance to the preparer and support the overall quality of the audit.
