The document discusses key aspects of planning an audit, including:

2) When planning an audit, the role and involvement of the client's management should be decided.
3) It is better for audit planning and efficiency if the auditor is hired prior to the balance sheet date so audit procedures can be carried out at interim dates if control risk is low.
