Hi Kim,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to provide you with an update on our ongoing audit of ABC
Company and to request your valuable insights on a list of additional questions we have compiled.

As part of the audit process, we have completed a comprehensive review of prior-year workpapers and
identified a finding related to the archiving of purchase approval documentation, which remained
unresolved at that time.

Attached to this email, you will find the "Initial Set of Questions Template" with a thorough list of
questions pertaining to ABC Company's purchasing process and controls.

We kindly request your expertise in reviewing the attached list of questions and providing your
responses by tomorrow.

Best regards,

Ismail
