An audit proposal is a type of financial proposal whereby one tries to convince a company or the management that audit is necessary. Audit is important for maintaining the sound operations of the company and before the proposal is made, one must identify the process or processes you want to audit which are crucial to the business operations. The proposal must describe the reason why an audit will be beneficial to the company, it must include what kind of information the audit will provide, a timeline must be given, a projection and estimate of costs must be included and the proposal must be related to the goals of the company.
