According to the IIA's Standards, the internal auditor should follow up to see that the corrective action satisfies the audit recommendations. It is not the responsibility of the internal auditor to oversee the corrective action or postpone the next audit, and refraining from judging the corrective action will not ensure that the deficiencies are remedied. Therefore, the best choice is to follow up on the corrective action.
