    Solution

    A joint audit is anauditon alegal entity(the auditee ) by two or more auditors to produce a singleaudit report, thereby sharing responsibility for the audit. A typical joint audit has audit planning performed jointly andfieldwork allocated to the auditors. A joint audit is different from adual audit, where a dual audit is performed by two independent auditors issuing their own separate reports, which are then used by another auditor that ultimately reports on the entity as a whole.
