Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communicating with the previous auditor will provide the new auditor with an understanding of the reasons for the change of auditors, which may impact future audit procedures or the new auditor's assessment of the client's risk. Obtaining passwords and logins or work papers may also be necessary, but these specific tasks are not the primary reason for communicating with the previous auditor. Serving them with an official change of auditor notice is not necessary for the new auditor to begin their work.
