■ Factors that maybe taken into consideration when deciding whether or
not to seek additional evidence
- Is there a high degree of consistency among the evidence
already collected? If so, the need for additional evidence is
decreased; if not, the need is increased.
- Is there a high degree of risk, significance or sensitivity
associated with the matter to be reported? If so, additional
evidence may reinforce the internal auditor’s conclusion; if not,
existing evidence may be sufficient to gain acceptance of the
conclusion
- Is the cost obtaining additional evidence worth the benefits to
be obtained in terms of supporting the findings? If not, don’t
bother; if so, proceed.
