Management Letter
A management letter is a formal document provided by auditors to a company's management after an audit. It highlights key findings, observations, and recommendations regarding the organization’s internal controls, financial practices, and overall operations. The purpose is to inform management of potential risks and areas for improvement to enhance efficiency and compliance. Unlike the audit report, which focuses on financial statements, the management letter offers insights that can help management make informed decisions for better governance and risk management.
