An audit is a cumulative and iterative process but, for the purposes of presentation in this ISSAI the fundamental principles have been grouped into principles related to organisational requirements of the SAI, principles that the auditor should consider prior to commencement and at more than one point throughout the audit process (General principles) and those principles related to identified steps in the audit process itself.

The existence of these procedures at SAI level is a prerequisite for applying or for developing national standards based on the Fundamental Auditing Principles.
