Great experience to explore other elements of a finding and hear from others on their different audit experiences pertaining to their audit areas of work. There is never enough to learn about audit, for processes and policies are ever-changing. When it comes to auditing on any level, you will always have to remain consistent to get to the real root cause of any condition, identify the impact, and offer an effective resolution. Right then, forward as always!
