Imagine that you're the Senior Auditor on the Peach Blossom Cologne Company audit. The Partner on the engagement comes into your office and tells you she's not satisfied with the memo that Jasper Parsons (the former Senior) wrote on Understanding the Entity and Its Environment and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement. She thinks a little in-house seminar is needed to train everyone and she's given you the job of writing and presenting the seminar.
