How do you facilitate audits and ensure compliance with external standards when working with external auditors?

When working with external auditors, I facilitate audits and ensure compliance with external standards by following a systematic approach. I start by thoroughly reviewing the audit requirements and understanding the scope of the audit. Then, I collaborate with the external auditors to gather the necessary documentation, such as financial statements, internal control documentation, and supporting evidence. I ensure that all the required information is provided in a timely manner and address any questions or concerns raised by the auditors. Throughout the audit process, I maintain open communication with the auditors and provide them with any additional information or assistance they may need. After the audit, I review the audit findings and work with the relevant stakeholders to implement corrective actions if necessary. This helps to ensure compliance with external standards and improve the effectiveness of our audit processes.
