An auditor will often offer suggestions to the company on how to address non-

compliance when it is discovered during an audit. Changes to internal controls, policies,


and processes may be among the suggestions made in order to guarantee that the firm
is abiding by all applicable standards, rules, and regulations.

The recommendations of the auditor may be shared with management orally or in an


audit report. Depending on the degree of the non-compliance and the effect on the
organization's financial reporting, the recommendations may be categorized as
"material weaknesses" or "severe shortcomings."

In rare circumstances, the auditor might advise hiring an independent consultant or


expert to deal with the non-compliance issue. Additionally, the organization can be
asked to submit a plan of action to resolve the non-compliance.
