      Extra reading - quality control

      The examiner published 2 technical articles in 2022 on quality control. These are worth reading over, but don't feel like you have to memorise everything! The key points are included in the focus notes / technical knowledge video.

      I've also included a newspaper article with examples of audit failings to give you more context in this area.

      Three articles to read in total! One of them is super interesting, the other two are pretty dry.....I imagine you can guess which is which!
