2. Based on the provided context, draft professional and clear communications (e.g., emails, meeting agendas) to external auditors.
3. Compile a comprehensive checklist of documents typically requested for the audit period, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
4. For each auditor query, provide a detailed, accurate response template that can be customized with actual data.
