For this audit, you must review and approve all audit workpapers. If you find any unclarity or issues in a workpaper, the workpaper isreturned to the appropriate staff auditor for necessary and appropriate revision.

Review the audit work papers below. Prepare Jane a list of the concerns that are present in her work papers. For each point raised, give explanations why the documentation is not appropriate.
