The document discusses audit planning processes and selecting what to audit. It notes that strategic planning depends on objectives in a development strategy document and determines what, who, where, and when to audit. Annual planning is based on risk assessment analyses and includes proposals in an annual working plan. The main steps for selecting audit topics are identifying targets of opportunities, creating a list of possible topics, ranking them, giving proposals, submitting them for approval, and including them in an annual working plan.
