PECB Lead Auditor (ISO/IEC 27001) — Question 17

What is the main reason for sending an engagement letter before the initial contact with the auditee?

Answer options

• A. To confirm the authority to conduct the audit
• B. To provide initial audit details and schedule the initial contact
• C. To establish the audit objectives

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the engagement letter serves to outline key audit details and arrange the first meeting with the auditee. Option A is incorrect as it relates to confirming authority rather than scheduling, and Option C does not address the initial contact aspect that the engagement letter covers.
