guidance.

analyzed the approach related to an audit. In this case a review was being performed. You were

practice. For the AO6 Materiality and approach, you lacked relevant depth in your response. I would suggest that you spend some time reviewing the technical for this issue as part of your debrief of this case so that you will be confident
