The Audit Test Plan serves as a crucial planning and execution document in the Nigerian audit landscape, designed to ensure systematic and thorough audit processes in compliance with local regulations. This document is typically prepared at the outset of an audit engagement, after the initial client acceptance but before detailed fieldwork begins. The Audit Test Plan encompasses comprehensive testing strategies, risk assessments, and specific procedures tailored to the client's industry and size, while adhering to the requirements set forth by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. It provides a detailed roadmap for conducting the audit, ensuring consistency in approach, and maintaining quality standards throughout the engagement.
