According to the ISO/IEC 27001 : 2022 Lead Implementer course, one of the factors that can negatively affect the internal audit process is the lack of cooperation from the auditees, which can manifest as restricting the internal auditor’s access to offices and documentation1. This can hinder the auditor’s ability to collect sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, verify the conformity of the information security management system (ISMS) with the audit criteria, and identify any nonconformities or opportunities for improvement2. Therefore, the auditees should be informed of the audit objectives,scope, criteria, and schedule in advance, and should provide the auditor with all the necessary information and resources to conduct the audit effectively3.
