What an audit memo looks like
This is a representative triage memo: the kind of document a five-day audit hands back. The company in it is fictional, the work is not. Real client memos stay private, so this one is built to show the shape and the standard.
-
Findings, ranked
Three findings ordered by blast radius, not by how interesting the code is. Each one carries the observed symptom, the evidence, how to verify it, the fix, and the effort.
-
A go / no-go you can act on
Two remediation tracks with scope and price, so the next decision is a budget line, not another meeting.
-
What I deliberately left alone
A short "not worth prioritizing now" section. Knowing what not to spend money on is half of what you are paying a senior engineer for.
The memo is the output. The system staying up is the deliverable.
