The scope of work conducted by C&W is not clear if it is agreed-upon procedure or a high-level assessment. This can be distinguished by the level of testing to obtain corroborative evidence. It is very true that management needs to know what they are buying. But there are also CONsultant who will claim that they are doing an audit and when we asked what's the difference between an audit and a review. Half the time they may not know how to distinguish. The idea is to shop around and you will soon know the difference between the real mccoy and the snake oil.
