Hi i was wondering if someone can help me i am looking for notes or questions in this area. Or is this not relievent?
As all i see in the notes and past papers is role of directors or audit committee in audit not internal vs external.The P1 exam spot said internal auditor role so is that more likely compared to internal vs external auditor roles?
Thanks
