Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gather fragments, piece by piece
Sufficient and appropriate release
Nature, relevance, reliability's test
Source and circumstances do the rest
Audit universe spreads before your eyes
Evidence hunting where the truth denies

[Chorus]
SARI - Sufficient Appropriate Reliable Intent
Every scrap of proof we've sent
Confirmations fly through postal streams
External sources validate our schemes
Test the controls, substantiate the claims
Evidence speaks when nothing else remains

[Verse 2]
Inspection touches documents and assets
Observation catches what the process baskets
Inquiry probes the minds that know the facts
Recalculation double-checks their acts
External confirmation breaks the chain
Of management assertions' potential gain

[Chorus]
SARI - Sufficient Appropriate Reliable Intent
Every scrap of proof we've sent
Confirmations fly through postal streams
External sources validate our schemes
Test the controls, substantiate the claims
Evidence speaks when nothing else remains

[Bridge]
Positive confirmations tell us yes or no
Negative silence means exceptions show
Analytical procedures spot the variance dance
Risk assessment guides our evidence advance

[Verse 3]
Written trumps the oral every time
Independent beats the biased paradigm
Original documents outweigh the copies made
Direct knowledge stronger than the secondhand trade
Corroboration builds the fortress walls
Where single sources stumble, combination calls

[Chorus]
SARI - Sufficient Appropriate Reliable Intent
Every scrap of proof we've sent
Confirmations fly through postal streams
External sources validate our schemes
Test the controls, substantiate the claims
Evidence speaks when nothing else remains

[Outro]
Persuasive evidence builds the case
Professional judgment sets the pace
CAS five hundred guides the way we prove
What management asserts, we test and move
