Basically, the audit report deals with the most significant deficiencies or deviations, and includes recommendations to promote improvements in the conduct of the activities or operations of the area or areas examined. It is the auditor's final product, by means of which he presents his observations, conclusions and recommendations in writing.

It should contain judgments based on the evidence obtained throughout the examination in order to provide sufficient information about the most important deviations or deficiencies, as well as to recommend improvements in the conduct of activities and execution of operations.
