How can staffing pressure become an audit quality risk?
Our firm is short-staffed during busy season. Does this change the level of work the auditor needs to do?
Staffing pressure can reduce audit quality if it leads to poor planning, weak supervision, shallow review, skipped procedures, or unsupported conclusions. The audit objective does not change because the team is busy. The engagement team still needs enough competent work, review, documentation, and consultation to support the opinion.
