My apologies I did not grasp your meaning. I have answered this Q generically in the AA forum – when using tutor forum (for promptest reply) please reference the source of your query so I can answer it in context.
In answer to this Q I would say, in general, something documented will be more persuasive than something said regardless of it’s source (internal or external). If you disagree don’t worry – it’s a matter of judgment and this is just a quiz. In a real exam Q you wouldn’t expect to have any potential conflict.

Kim Smith says
Please read the chapter of the notes and watch the video – if you still have questions then ask a fellow student in this forum https://opentuition.com/forum/acca-forums/acca-aa-audit-and-assurance-forums/ OR https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/ask-the-tutor-acca-audit-and-assurance-aa-exams. Please be specific with your query, I cannot respond to requests for “more help”.

plz explain why external oral enquiry is worse audit evidence than internal written audit evidence? as in Q4.
Kim Smith says
See page 61 of the notes for the general “rules of thumb” concerning the reliability of audit evidence.
theterror says
it does not answer my question in notes. it does not compare external oral with internal written evidence.
