##### BCM Audit Series

# Standardized Audit Program

While writing this blog, there are two terms that have caused confusion: “Audit Checklist” and “Audit Program.”

The Public accounting practice calls the Audit Checklist for Certification compliance “Audit Program.” This Audit Program template is used to focus on the auditing of the BCM content. Hence, to remove any confusion, this audit program in this blog shall be called the Standardized Audit Program.
