Independent Audit: Inspect Who Checked What
An audit claim needs a named verifier and a document with a scope.
Scope first
Identify the account or model, covered period, supplied materials and exact conclusion. A personal performance audit and a model instruction review are different objects. Do not extend the first to the second without evidence.
Independence and access
Ask how the verifier obtained records and whether relevant relationships are disclosed. A seller's own summary of a review is not the same as the underlying report. Multiple publications repeating it remain secondary descriptions.
Unresolved evidence
If the report is unavailable, label the audit claim as attributed and its scope unresolved. That is a documentary limitation, not proof that the claim is false. Desk research here does not substitute for an independent verification engagement.

| What should stay unresolved? | If the report is unavailable, label the audit claim as attributed and its scope unresolved. That is a documentary limitation, not proof that the claim is false. Desk research here does not substitute for an independent verification engagement. |
