Part A

You have been appointed as an Audit Manager and recently attended a training course run by your firm on managing a culturally diverse workforce. Your Audit Partner has asked you to provide him with a report on key issues relevant to managing a culturally diverse audit team. The report should include recommendations on how any of the key issues should be implemented into the work practices that meet the appropriate standards.

Part B

Your audit client has recently become aware of the concept of CSR reporting. They are considering adopting a CSR reporting framework they want to have audited in future years. Currently, the client only has reporting practices around economic issues, and they have asked for your assistance in further developing their CSR framework. They have asked that you provide a report including key recommendations on practices to be adopted to develop a CSR reporting framework that meets the appropriate standards.

Please note:

• Your responses to Parts A and B should reference appropriate frameworks, standards, and policies.
