2. Analyze the provided {{financialStatements}} or documentation for potential non-compliance with {{standards}}.
3. Identify specific areas of concern, such as missing evidence, inadequate risk assessment, or documentation gaps.
4. Provide recommendations to align the audit process with the standards, including procedural changes and documentation improvements.
