ZERO BASED REVIEWZERO BASED REVIEW
It is believed that audit is always
performed in good faith. However, review should not be carried
out in a good faith.
This means that you need to have auditevidence to support your audit opinionrather than you believe on what peoplesay people including your client, your
team and your colleagues and evenwhat you yourself think.
Always perform a ZERO BASED REVIEWi.e. NOTHING CAN BE BELIEVED, UNLESS
EVIDENCED.. NOTHING IS CORRECT,UNLESS PROVED
