Hi background in audit and soc compliance now working for a non-public firm but delivering support to the auditors. Being that I am new I am still learning all the processes however cannot find a single process narrative. In order to better my experience performance I have attempted to find some type of structure.
Nothing is compliant…..

Would you send over a file for review with your name on it when told for job security or respect yourself and understand why first

What is the question? I am confused

Tbh i often wondered if IA sends us garbage knowingly and then try to argue their way through or if they really have such poor understanding of the requirements

Process narratives aren’t technically required, but your auditors may be required to document their understanding of your key close processes. Assuming this is a recurring audit, ask them to send you prior year’s process narrative

Truth. Not required for non-public entities except for key processes. The auditors will have them, and they’ll probably send them to you anyways to update/look over to see if the process has changed. Double check with your superior on those narratives on any parts you’re unsure of/don’t understand

Just send it over if it sucks and the control is not compliant then that’s not your fault and you’re not going to take the heat from it, you didn’t design the control
